I was looking through these posts to find some information on how to stop this. I am now experiencing shortness of breath but my lungs are clear! I have gone to the doctor, to the emergency room but I am always told there is nothing wrong. However, now that I am not in such a panic, it feels like it is actually in my throat, just a slight swelling and I believe now after reading some of these posts, that I may be allergic to my favorite past time. :-( Has anyone found out a remedy for this? I am going to miss smoking.
