View allFeel like I always have mucus in my throat and lungs, and it's making it hard to breathe properly. I keep having to spit it out. When I sleep and wake up, there's a pressure in my chest. Can anyone help?

I'm really worried because I had an allergic bronchitis attack about 5 years ago, and now it feels like the same thing happened again last night. My breathing airways got blocked, and I had this wheezing sound coming from my chest the whole time. I couldn't sleep at all. The last time this happened, I used an Albuterol inhaler to get through it. Should I stick with that again, or is there something else I should do?
yes

I've quit smoking about two months back, and after about a week, I started experiencing some uncomfortable symptoms like chest pain, coughing, insomnia, and really intense dreams. I also find it hard to swallow and sometimes feel short of breath. Is this normal, or should I be worried?
