Hi, I smoke about 20 cigarettes daily. I perform 108 suryanamaskar as well, which is above average workout. However, my breath grasp whenever I take staircase. Please advise what might be the reason for this?

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Your body suddenly needs more oxygen -- hence the feeling of being winded. Another reason why it affects you so strongly is because walking up stairs uses your fast-twitch muscles, which are used for explosive movements, and muscles like your glutes that you may not commonly train. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

You can not counter side effects of smoking by doing extra work out. U need to reduce smoking.
