I quit smoking recently and I can't say it has made anxiety better or worse tbh

For many it will ease the symptoms. For others it may start a full panic attack.

When im anxious and I smoke, i find that it actually increases the anxiety as it makes my heart pound louder n faster! Especially if I smoke the whole fag so, I just take a few pulls n dash it before my head starts getting light n I feel nauseated.

Well I stopped smoking around 9 weeks ago and the reason I stopped smoking is I got sick smoked and had a full on panic attack and like I said it's been 9 weeks and I just got a small hold on my anxiety it's a horrible thing to go thru . But I have had episodes thru out my entire life about ever 5 to 7 years it stays for a while then it go's but I am almost to the end of my episode I can feel it I start to feel like me again . But I still worry bout My health thank God for my kids and my husband and my dad and My grandparents everyone else can laugh but they know it's real it's not something that u do just to be doing it
