I recently quit smoking after more than 8 years, but now I'm having issues with some right lung pain and it feels uneasy to breathe sometimes. I've also been dealing with frequent colds. Are there any home remedies or tips that could help with these symptoms? I'm really looking for some advice on what to do.

I'm experiencing some chest congestion and I'm noticing a problem with breathing whenever I go for a walk. It feels like I run out of energy pretty quickly, and my legs start hurting. I'm worried about what could be causing this. Could it be something serious, or is it just because I'm maybe a bit out of shape? It's pretty concerning, so I'd love to get some advice on what to do next.
