Hello,

I think you might be having any lung pathology since you say with a deep breath it affects you then that means its lungs. So please get a chest x-ray done to know what could be the pathology. If there is any problem, then go to a physician for better treatment. If there is no problem, then you could wait. You can stop smoking which might be causing all these problems. Eating nicotine chew gums or nicotine pathic is also better.



Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Archana
