Quit Cigs cold turkey and moderate weed

I am on the 3rd week of cold turkey quitting smoking cigs, ever since i have been active, but I have had a shortness of breath as if I for get to breathe..i do have a stressful life as a young professional who is busy and so a have supplemented my quitting with a little weed at night to relax. My sex drive has decreased (upsetting my girlfriend), im short on breath (worried I have asthma which I never have had symptom), I never cough up anything and i smoked a pack plus a day for 4 years and im 24. will I be ok, the shortness of breath thing is getting to me, any help would be nice. I will not smoke again, but the cravings have not stopped and im pretty difficult to be aorund sometimes.

Are you mixing tobacco with the weed mix? Because if you are, your body is never going to go through the 'quitting' phase. I'm on day five, and I feel amazing - smoking a little pure green every now and then.

I 46 and quit both 2 months ago and have been gasping for air constantly ever since. I was told at the hospital that I was just hyperventilating and my lungs were clear.
It's really getting to me too.
