Hi,

Get your HB done to r/o anaemia, take tad iron (ferrium xt), stop smoking immediately, you can take help of nicotine gums in that, your symptoms will persist till you quit smoking. Continue inhalers, take steam inhalation. Visit a physiotherapist for deep breathing exercises and postural drainage.

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

Regards,
Dr. AJEET SINGH, General & Family Physician
