I am so thankful that I found this site. I am signed up with a support group on another site but no one has mentioned all of the symptoms that I have read here today. I am starting my 7th week of being smoke free, I thought I was well on my way to being a healthier, better me. Last Tuesday I was watching TV and all of the sudden I couldn't breath, I felt panic and fear and I almost wanted to drive myself to the hospital. I ended up sitting by my husband in the dark crying instead. I made an appointment with my GP and he gave me anti-anxiety medication which helped but I also felt pretty useless. I was in a happy place and then I went straight to sleep. I have been exercising five days a week since I stopped smoking and noticed that even though my breathing was eratic I could still work out just as hard, maybe even harder. Very weird. I just wanted to say that I am feeling better after reading this site. I literally read all ten pages and I can relate to almost all of the symptoms. By the way I am 38 and I have smoked on and off since I was 15. I am definitely a serial quitter. I am definitely going to try the homeopathic remedies that one lady listed on here, like the tumeric, cayenne pepper, honey. It can't hurt, that is for sure.
I will definitely check back in to let people know how my journey is going. Hold on tight to your quit for your dear life.
