It has been very dusty here over the last week, low pollen, no allergies.
Been on Beta for a year (!!!).
Stopped smoking one month (yeeeeaaahhhh). No cough or yucky stuff coming up.
Exercising as normal, alternate daily swim and lots of stinky, sweaty horses.

I'm thinking it's my lungs finding their feet again. Any ideas from some ex smokers?

Thanks, as always.

Pud, go see a doctor. Shortness of breath is not something to ignore.

Also, in rare cases, sarcoidosis of the lungs can be caused by interferon. It happened to me several years ago. It causes shortness of breath ... not fun.
