A member asked:
I get out of breath when i walk up the stairs, i'm 17 weight 7stone and a smoker ?

This sounds like: a combination of your smoking and possibly lack of routine exercise, if that's the case or possibly an infection. Please see your doctor to have your lungs examined for any infection, asthma, other lung condition and speak to them about getting some help to stop smoking and get/stay healthy.
