When I quit smoking it apparently triggered COPD. Why?

Asked by Dutchess_III (47239points) May 2nd, 2015

I’ve been quit for 7 weeks. For the last 2 weeks I’m having a horrible time breathing sometimes. My chest is wheezing. My throat keeps wanting to spasm close making it hard to breath. It also wants to spasm when I try to swallow, and I feel like I’m going to choke. One of my doctors muttered something about COPD, but I don’t know if that was an official diagnosis.

I felt healthier when I smoked.
