A member asked:
Is it common to be short of breath and have excessive mucus production even two months after quitting smoking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It all depends on how long you smoked and if you already have chronic bronchitis ( which is a form of copd) . To evaluate that you may need full pulmonary function test. Remember when you quit smoking, inflammation that the smoking triggered does not quit right away
