Might: You might have an emphysema, if you smoked for 10 years and you have generics for it you still might have it, there are other conditions that can give you similar symptoms, better see your doctor and get it checked asap.

Not clear: But needs to be worked up! stop smoking while you can! see your doc and get some tests: chest x-rays oxygen saturation history and physical. Ekg etc this is a bad set of symptoms.
