I've been getting a fluttering feeling in the base of my throat and chest that causes me to cough and takes my breath away on and off now constantly.

See your doctor: You may have asthma, bronchitis or any number of lung conditions. Your doctor may need to order a chest xray or do a spirometry to measure your lung capacity. She will also see if you have reflux causing all the discomfort. She will advise you to stop smoking. Now is a good time to find a smoking cessation program. There are patches, gum, will power and e cigarettes for patients who need help.
