Shortness of breath
After eating breakfast/climbing stairs, I notice breath shortness. My breathing is not as smooth as it used to be. I used to smoke earlier for 9 years then I switched it with vaping/e-cigarette for 2 years. Now I have stopped vaping also. I am. Not using any nicotine/smoking product for last two weeks. What tests you would recommend to see the damage I have done to myself because of smoking/vaping?
