Hi , the withdrawal symtoms are quite common and a normal way of body to correct and get back in the right shape. I had been a smoker for 7 years before eventually quitting 2 months back ( Cold Turkey ) - I still go through the symptoms that you have mentioned ( probably cause my body was so heavily dependent on Nicotine) ....but amazingly it all gets better - its slow but gets better .....Hang in there .....Have a great Smoke Free Life!!
Chemicals in tobacco smoke affect your entire central nervous system. Because these chemicals have been messing with your nervous system, quitting can cause a feeling of nervousness, which sometimes lasts for a few days. And, when your central nervous system gets back in line, you may find that you have a keener sense of smell, taste, hearing, colour and depth perception.
Try relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing and exercise. Physical activity can also be helpful in expending that extra anxious energy.
When your anxious this can also speed up your heart rate. If you're worried about the way your lungs are functioning, see your doctor. He/she can refer you to have a pulmonary function test and from that you'll know what kind of shape your lungs are in.
Hello, I have been smoking on a constant basis for a little over a year. I recently quit smoking cold turkey, my last cigarette was on October first. Im going through the withdrawals and just wanna see if they're normal. I have been real anxious and have had bad panic attacks. I can breath fine but it feels like my heart rate is changing and like I am catching my breath at times. Is this normal?
