A member asked:
Should i try exercise while having sob after quitting smoking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In General Yes: Exercise is recommended even for patients who have advanced lung disease. SOB should be investigated by a doctor first to find out what's causing it and whether something needs to be done. Common causes include asthma, anemia (low blood count), emphysema and reconditioning.
