Look elsewhere: Avoid smoke if you can, and look for some physical / mechanical / chest or lung disease explanation for your inability to take a deep breath. Your bloodwork won't tell us why. As a pathologist, i'm always urging doctors and patients to look at "the numbers" only as an adjunct to the history and physical exam. Good luck.
