Welcome back!
I never really thought much about people who have problems breathing until I had that problem myself when I had bronchitis over and over again for 12 years. Then my Mom started having problems with that because she smoked for so many years. She has ended up with major breathing difficulties due to emphysema which they now call COPD. The real difficulty comes in when she’s out somewhere and cannot use her at home nebulizer. So, going out, she has a portable one and a little machine to check blood oxygen levels called a pulse oximeter. It sure does save the day when she has an attack.
I always thought that that sort of thing happened to other people but it has happened to our family now. The first thing that I would tell anyone about this is to stop smoking. It isn’t worth it. Second, if you have problems like that, get to a doctor for treatment. I really didn’t do that when I had bronchitis most of the time. I was so used to it by then that it didn’t seem to matter one way or the other. But it really does. If you get treatment, you don’t have the after effects like the cough…well, not much of one. See the doc if you have these problems.
