Subject: Shortness of Breath

Question
I smoked a pack a day for over 30 years. I went 6 weeks ago and got laser done and I stopped smoking immediately. I am doing great but since this I am storing lots of water,and I have a shortness of breath. I am also going through memopause. Is the shortness of breath related to the smoking

Answer
Hi Lesley,
It's good you took a step to improve your life, you will feel much better and healthier  as you are not dependent on addiction.
About shortness of breath and storing water do visit a doctor who can help you motivate your desire to be healthy.

· After 72 Hours: Your bronchial tubes begin to relax, making breathing easier. Lung capacity increases.
· After 2-12 Weeks: Circulation improves, making walking and physical activity easier. Stamina improves
• After 2 weeks to 3 months your heart attack risk begins to drop and your lung function begins to improve.
• 1 to 9 months after quitting, your coughing and sinus congestion decreases. Lung function improves. Shortness of breath decreases. Energy level increases.

Cheers
Sharma
