About 2 months ago, came down with a pretty bad cold... lost my voice, sneezing, itchy eyes and a runny nose. Lasted about two week. Felt completely back to normal for a week then out of no where it became laboring to take a deep breath. Went to the doctor, she said I had bronchitis. She gave me and inhaler and steroid and sent me on my way. Well now it’s been a month and a half. I feel totally normal except for a nagging feeling I’m not getting a full deep breath. I catch myself yawning to get a satisfying breath. I don’t know what is going on. This had never happened before. That being said I was smoker for about 10 years. I have been done smoking for a few months. I’m worried that something is really wrong. I don’t have medical insurance so seeing the doctor is expensive for me.
Any advice? Anyone experience this at the start of COPD? Am I insane?
