Breathlessness: Your smoking could be causing your difficult breathing but if you are not exercising regularly and not eating well or sleeping well these can all be factors in addition to stress levels. Consult with your doctor to rule out any medical issues and also ask for help quitting smoking. Best wishes.

Quit for now: Till you're feeling better, either cut back a bunch or even quit smoking. After you're better and know what it was - you can decide if you really want to smoke. Have a physical exam to discover what might be the problem. If there are no findings, great! it could be emotional, so then you might benefit from talking to a good psychotherapist. Stress can affect breathing & make you exhausted. Best!
