Hi there, thanks for asking. It is related to some factors that the most important thing is your chronic obstructive lung situation (COPD). When somebody has such a condition, she has less oxygen in her blood and every smoking will lead to less saturation of oxygen in the blood. This can cause many symptoms including the one you described. It is a very important recommendation that COPD patients should quit their smoking. If they continue, they may need some puffers and even daily oxygen in order to live. I wish you a good health.
