I quit smoking 6 month ago.4 weeks ago i had pneumonia/pleurisy and blood in my spetum.no more blood/cough/fever.i feel short of breath sometimes.stil?

Not ususual: Many/most people go through a period of shortness of breath when they quit. The reason is, cigarette smoke is very irritating and smokers cough out phlegm with smoking. When you quit, before you heal, there's a period of continued mucous overproduction but you retain the secretions and obstruct your breathing passages. Meds can help. Time will heal. You've done the right thing. Congratulations!

Lately they: Have been recommending yearly cat scans- ck with your pcp for his opinion!
