I've been having some strange breathing issues lately, and it's kind of worrying. It all started last Friday, August 4th, after I ate something that made me sick, and I ended up throwing up. Ever since then, my breathing has felt weird. I feel a bit short of breath, and it seems hard to take a deep breath. I'm feeling really stressed about it. What could be going on? Should I be concerned?

I'm having a really hard time sleeping because every time I close my eyes, I wake up almost right away feeling like I can't breathe. This mainly happens during the day when I try to nap. I've been going to bed really late, like after 2 a.m. Could that be causing it, or is something else going on?

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?
