Can a person just stop breathing without any issues? I constantly feel like I'm not getting enough air. I don't have any medical conditions, but I still worry that I'm going to die from not being able to breathe properly.

I've been dealing with a pretty bad indigestion issue. So, on June 1st, 2020, I just up and quit smoking. I was smoking about 45 cigarettes a day for the past 10 years, but I started cutting down in 2018 and finally stopped after two years. The first few months, I had headaches and an upset stomach, but recently I've had a bit of trouble breathing. When I do things like running or cardio workouts, I feel okay, but if I miss a day, I notice some shortness of breath and my throat feels tight. This has been going on for a month, and I've been feeling kinda weak, too. Is this normal, or could it be something else? I don't have any other symptoms.
Salbutamol inhaler and budesonide 200 sos is advised for breathing difficulty.

I'm really concerned because since yesterday I've been experiencing this chest pain on the right side whenever I exhale. It's like a sharp pain whenever I breathe out. Could this be something serious? What might be causing this, and what should I do?
Based on your symptoms, it is important to rule out any serious conditions such as a pulmonary embolism or pleurisy. However, if it is determined to be musculoskeletal in nature, you can consider taking ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the affected area may also help alleviate the discomfort. Remember to rest and avoid any activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention promptly.
