Hi Im new to this so please bare with me. First off I am a smoke ( i enjoy it) though I have cut down alot. I have notice lately that I am always trying to catch my breath, I cant even walk up my stairs without having a burning chest and legs. I also can hear my heartbeat in my ears. its really annoying. My insurance dont kick in for a couple of months so I thought I would reach out on the web to see if anyone had the same symptoms. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Isn't there a free clinic in your area you could qualify for?  You could have congestive heart failure and/or copd and/or peripheral vascular disease in your legs due to poor circulation, all rather serious ailments.

Hello~Well, the best advice I can give you is to see your doctor as soon as possible. I don't like the sound of the symptoms you are having, especially since you are a smoker. I would say a good, cardiac work up is in order, and soon. don't wait too long either, you might be sorry.
