I've been feeling short of breath lately, even though my pulmonary function tests came back normal. I don't have any chest pain or a cough. Should I be concerned about this, or is it just something that happens sometimes? What else could be causing this?

I've been feeling a bit of breath shortness after breakfast and while climbing stairs, and my breathing isn't as smooth as it used to be. I had a history of smoking for 9 years, then switched to vaping e-cigarettes for 2 years. I've quit all nicotine and smoking products for the past two weeks. Could you tell me what tests I should consider to understand the impact of my past smoking and vaping on my health?
