I've been having breathing problems for the past couple of years. My doctor said it's bronchitis, but I'm really worried because when I try to inhale, sometimes it feels like the air just doesn't reach my lungs. I have to try four or five times to get a full breath, and lately, I've been feeling a mild chest pain along with a cough and this uncomfortable pressure in my chest that makes me anxious. It even makes my body feel cold. Could you please tell me what's going on and what kind of treatment I should look into?

I'm having this issue where a few hours after I fall asleep, I wake up with shortness of breath. It's really alarming because it happens out of nowhere, and I don't know what's causing it. After I drink some water, I feel better, but it's unsettling not to know why it's happening. There's no chest pain or anything like sweating, just this sudden breathlessness. Can you help me figure out what might be going on?

do one chest xray and check your hemoglobin levels.

I'm trying to cut down on smoking and I've heard that vaping and e-cigarettes might be a better option since they don't have tar. I'm curious if they really are a bit less harmful and if it's possible to gradually reduce the number of puffs too. I've noticed there's not much information out there. What do you think about this?
