Wow.. Lol not very optiistic..
I"m the same way, getting through each day is tough. Felt better smoking, I have an inhaler, nebulizer. Very depressing thinking I will feel better, everyday is a struggle!
I am not to sure with your answer I quite smoking 7 months ago have coughing and shortness of breath and still using a inhaler, my husband quite 6 weeks ago no coughing or shortness of breath and he doesn't need his inhaler we are smoking about the same Lamont of time.
You are manual breathing and having anxiety attacks I get them to
Hey Alarmist, what you say is just not true. If you consult with the specialists, you will find, by quitting cigarettes, you can halt or reverse health problems. I think I will stick with the experts, and by living a healthy lifestyle, I will become healthier and healthier!
Thank you i will sure try it. God bless you
I have smoked for 60 years and quit 6 months ago. I have had sooo many health problems and too numerous to list since quitting. Almost make me want to start smoking!!!! I now have ED, simply crazy and the doctor has no solution. Good luck there are folks worse off than us.
I'm having the same problem it horrible I feel like smoking again I hate the value of my life now
Thank you for your post. It's been 29 days for me. Overall I do feel better. I think like this, we put poison in our bodies for years, this is our body getting rid of the poison. This is my second time stopping and I felt like c**p before I started to feel better, it takes time
Am same as you and just been told have mild emphysema.i quit on October 23 this year after been told.i take it yours is severe.

I smoked at least a pack a day for about 35 years not to mention the weed on top of that. I quit everything about a year ago and have a persistent cough ever since. It is driving me crazy and has gotten to the point of gagging. I have had xray that show nothing and the doctor says my lungs are clear. I do not suffer from shortness of breath which is amazing. I was diagnosed with asthma when I was a smoker. I have not had any issues with it since I quit. My inhaler sits in a drawer now. I just can't get over this cough and it is starting to interfere with my day to day life., not mention my job and my trigeminal neuralgia. I am going to participate in a COPD study in a few weeks to see if that is my problem. I'm in doubt since my breathing is better than it was when I smoked. Good luck to everyone

Sounds like you have emphysema. I know what you mean about feeling worse since you quit. I quit 1 yr and 9 months ago. I do not have any energy any more and feel 15 yes older. I do have emphysema and have to use nebulizer machine 2 times daily. It seems when I started using treatment I got worse. I really don't know what the answer is but just wanted to let you know I understand where you are coming from. I think also we got a lot of energy and stimulation in our lungs from the cigarettes that we don't get now. That could be part of it. Let me know if you find anything out new. Good luck on your journey.
lol. I was thinking the same thing. I was very alarmed
This is so not true!! Where did you get your information?
I am a 33 year old guy quit cigs. cold turkey 8 months ago too. I had difficulty breathing for almost 2 months, followed by acid reflux, indigestion, chronic chest, neck, back and shoulder pain. Well all of this goes on and off for me.
I was initially afraid of getting a cancer or COPD or smthin serious with my respirstory and upper GI Tract too.. I read abt the cilia rebuilding and body recovering, etc. too.. But these ongoing and acute pains and unwell conditions have made my life hell!! Lately, I'm also experiencing painful and bleeding gums, especially whenever I'm up from sleep which made me suspect of having leukemia... And this thot of it got the sh*t outta me..!! But then I read abt bleeding gums being a common withdrawl symptom to many of x-smokers and I felt a bit relieved.. However m gonna do a dentist and blood check up soon though..
Well anither bothersome thing happening to me is a lot of acnes, painful and smtimes red too; on my forehead and shoulder and back ... This too has been noted as a withdrawal symptom..
Well I always wonder though that neither do I have cravings nor do I wish to smoke anymore then can these really be WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS??!!?? And cld they be so real bad and painful?
