I have the breathing issues as well, it has been 3 weeks for me have u delt with any low energy? I have a hard time making myself do anything
I quit cold turkey almost a year now and I've had all kinds of health problems. Shingles, ringing in one ear, shortness of breath, extreme fatigue, anxiety and depression, no appetite. Been to all the specialists and they find nothing wrong. I'm seriously thinking about vaping.
Uh, 42 years you were young?
Please don't give up. I quit after about 45 years because it was either quit or die. I had developed emphysema, asthma, chronic bronchitis, and some bronchiectasis. I found a good pulmonary doctor and he put me on a "maintenance inhaler" and a "rescue" inhaler. It has been 17 years now and I am doing well.
Over-sweating is absolutely an effect for women (at least, that I know of) who've quit cold turkey. Their hormones are out of whack, sometimes missing their periods for a few months after cessation, and adopting all qualities of PMS and/or Menopause until hormone balancing finally occurs. The nicotine stimulated (body adapted) hormone responses and now it's done. Now the body has to regulate itself from this confusion.
you hate the smell of them cause you quitting helped your senses
I Quit smoking 4 months ago cold Turkey. March 2015 my Mother in law died at age 59 suddenly of a heart attack. A week later I ended in the hospital with chest pain and rapid pulse. Since then I have been in the ER a few times and had the million dollar work up, Chest X-ray-, EKG, 24 Hour Stress test, MRI of Chest, Nuclear Stress Test, colonoscopy, endoscopy, MRI of the stomach, CT and MRI of the Brain and Nerve testing. Seen a Physcologist, a and Counsler. Shrink but me on all the different drugs, tired them all and nothing helped made me feel I a Fog. Almost a year and two months later after making a bunch life style changes, the final change I made was to quit smoking May 2016. I was at work when I went for a normal smoke break took a few drags and asked myself what am I doing? I put out my cigarette and tossed a nearly full pack of cigarettes at a fellow smoker said I am done you can have these. Since quitting smoking 4 months ago I have irregular heartbeat, random chest pains that come and go, diarrhea quite frequently, and constant feeling that my demise is near. I have no cravings to smoke any more and just want this feeling in my chest to go away. All tests came back normal. anyone else going through this?
I'm the same just cannot stop peeing all the time , off them 4weeks and just have started noticing this . It has to be a symptom of stopping as was never as bad before
So now what will I do without my cigarettes try quitting f****** heroin and benzos at the same time consider yourself lucky
To all the people who think they have failed by taking up smoking again. I gave up for several months & was miserable and the doctors just kept on giving me more pills, reflux, anxciaty, Sleep apnea. I was miserable, took up smoking again and no more illnesses & I am a very happy person, So you may try but you never fail as the body is your master
Do not drink alcohol after quitting smoking. The two go together. I recommend no alcohol at all while staying smoke free. And yes, people feel pretty crappy after quitting. I just quit again and my throat is feeling very painful and having pressure in lungs as well as nausea. We have to make this the last time we quit or we will die an ugly death and if you don't think so than you're living in another world. It's do or die and I am doing.
"wrong attitude" sorry to say....See your doctor and try stronger quit medication.
wow that's a lot of sugar
I don't think you are doing the right thing I stopped smoking 3 months ago I have itching and irritable leg syndrom and insomnia and very angry all the time nobody can stand me and loosing all the people in my life ( well they where not here anyway) but I cant even stand or understand myself do I want to take another smoke of that nicotine no because I want to live and had some lung issue
I was actually put on some medication and had to go through some withdraw medication that should never have been given to me. So I am doing this cold turkey. I thought I was dirty because of not showering feeling depressed and anxious. But believe me I am not giving up I just did not it was gonna be like another medical drug withdraw
good for you I feel hope now
