I quit smoking cold turkey just over 3 weeks ago and last week I started having some difficulty in breathing. When I try to take a deep breath it feels like my lungs just won't expand that last little bit. I went to the doctor and have had a chest X-ray which came back normal. I am going for a pulmonary function test on Friday but am a nervous wreck. I have read of other "quitters" have the same difficulty in breathing, but found no responses. Is this a normal reaction of the lungs and if it is, how long does it last?
