What Causes Nasal Bleeding And Breathlessness?
Ive been sick for 5 days now, and for the first time ive been feeling short of breath, no chest pains, so I chalked it up to anxiety, because all i have to do is calm down and not worry so much about whats wrong with me for it to go away, however I cant talk for too long because my voice ends up dissipating from breathlessness or at least i think its that (all i have to do is cough and i can talk again before it reoccurs), I was a smoker from 09-14 until I switched to vaporizers, which I mistakingly used on the first day and second day of being sick (I take vitamin c reguraly and the symptons werent very apparent), it was that second day i started feeling short of breath. My lifestyle is a sedentary one if thats any help. Also when i blow nose theres almost always blood, but theres no blood when i cough up phlegm.

Hello
welcome to health care magic, I have gone through your question very diligently and I really appreciate your concern.
Breathlessness and nasal bleeding in the backdrop of history of smoking is a matter of concern, which might be related to number of conditions like
COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Asthma
Infection like Tuberculosis,
Nasal polyp
heart or lung disease
I would advise you to visit nearest emergency room for physical examination like checking of blood pressure, chest examination, and blood test like hemoglobin, CBC,ESR, sputum test for microscopy and chest X Ray.
In my opinion you should take expectorant cough syrup like bromhexine, steam inhalation which will help by diluting and dissolving thick secretion of respiratory tract.
Deep breathing exercises are also advisable.
Hope you will find my response informative and helpful, please feel free to ask for further clarification.
Best wishes
