I have been having a hard time breathing, ex-smoker, had asthma as a child. could i possibly have it again? even a flight of stairs makes me winded.

Yes, possibly: There are lots of possible causes for what you describe and adult asthma is one. Make a doctor's appointment to get an answer and start the proper treatment. Hopefully it will be a mild condition that can be well controlled. Congratulations on being an ex! i imagine you are glad not to have to say "i smoke" when you see the doctor, right? Good luck!
