I smoke hubbly bubbly (shisha) quite often , and i am worried my lungs will greatly be affected , i have short of breaths . is there any over the counter medication i can take or should this be checked?

Hookah : You know the answer. You are doing damage to your lungs, as evidenced by your shortness of breath. You need to stop smoking immediately, taking an OTC will not repair damaged lungs. You also immediately seek evaluation by a specialist Pulmonologist or a specialist in Internal Medicine. Smoking, no matter the substance, no matter the delivery system, over time causes irreversible bodily harm.
