Lung damage, asthma and smoking?!
Question: Lung damage, asthma and smoking!?
I smoked on and off for about three years, the heaviest period being last year with me chain smoking!. I have about 1 pack-year, but definitely less than 2!. Smoked mostly Djarum Black (clove cigarettes)!. I completely stopped this past February!.
I have a history of asthma but finally "outgrew" it in my teens (I am now 22) thanks to Singulair!. This was before I started smoking!.
Last year I noticed that I was short of breath for about an hour after each cigarette, and I had two episodes where I felt like my lungs weren't absorbing the air I was breathing in and was suffocating!. This is ultimately why I quit!.
Recently I've noticed that those problems are coming back a little even though I haven't smoked!.
IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THERE IS ONGOING LUNG DAMAGE!?
WILL MY LUNGS REGAIN FULL FUNCTIONALITY OVER TIME!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

As you only smoked for 3 years, it doesn't sound like it would be smoking related!. Asthma could be back - or it could be allergies too; its the season for it!. Check with your dr!. if the problem is consisent and reoccuring frequently!. Most likely you don't have much lung damage, if any!. If you don't smoke for the rest of your life, your lungs will be "normal" again after several years!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
