What Causes Breathing Problem?
Hi welcome to HCM.... See effect of smoking is not same on every person... Genetic , environment and many other factors will affect it.... As in your case by smoking release of elastase can be there and lung tissue might be damaged by it.... Here restrictive lung disease like pulmonary fibrosing lung disease ruled out by x ray and PFT... Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease like bronchitis or emphysema could be there. So rule out by x ray and PFT.... You might given bronchodilator therapy . Treatment given according to cause. So consult physician without delay with keeping my answer in mind.... Take care. Dr.Parth
