Dr. Karim Farah Pulmonology
more details are needed regarding your symptoms. however it might be due to sleep apnea or asthma. you need to stop smoking and see a physician.

Dr. Jinan Usta Family Medicine
Agree with Dr Farah, your symptoms suggest sleep apnea. you have to stop smoking and better check with a doctor who will do the tests needed to explain what you have.
