Had A Stressful Life. Quit Smoking. Have Shortness Of Breath, Runny Nose, Hot Flash, Mild Sweating. Cure For Symptoms?

I am a 67 year old female. My life has been extremely stressful for far too long. I finally quit smoking a year ago. I am experiencing the following symptoms almost daily, rarely in the evenings or at night. Shortness of breath followed by a runny nose, followed by something that feels like a hot flash, accompanied by mild sweating.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

I am sorry for your ill health. Most concerning symptoms from what you have said are Shortness of breath, sweating, history of smoking (though quit now). These things should be taken very seriously as they hint the possibility of some heart related conditions like Angina. I suggest you to kindly visit your doctor as soon as possible.

Take Care!
