Feeling Ill?

Hiya all,

I hope someone here can put rest to my anxiety :)

I've been off of the demon cigarettes for over two weeks now, but i am starting to feel ill, and worried into the bargain. It feels like someone is sitting on my chest - it's a bit like the tight-windpipe feeling you get with a chest infection. I keep coughing in the hope i can somehow get rid of it, but no luck. Was anyone else like this after they quit?

Sorry no i havent had anything like that but didnt want to ignore your post. Have you thought about maybe seeing your GP.

Well Done for quitting and getting to 2 weeks.

I didn't experience this but could it be all of the gunk and nasties in your lungs trying to break up and come out now? Sounds gross i know, but that is my best guess. Sorry not much help :confused:

Hi Relaxicab and welcome, 389

I have definately felt like that when I have quit in the past, luckily I haven't felt like it at all this time, I must admit that is one of the reasons that I caved last time as I felt so ill. Please try not to do the same, I am sure if you can be strong a bit longer it will start to pass and you will feel better. It might be an idea to just see your GP coz he might be able to give you something to make you feel a bit better.

Good luck with your quit and let us know how you get on,

Love Befly xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thank you so much to everyone who replied - you've really put my mind at rest! I've quit twice before, years ago, and never experienced any side-effects to stopping, so all these horrible symptoms came as a wee bit of a shock :) Mind you, i'm doing it cold turkey, so could explain it.

How long did you feel this way?

Roll on the day i return to feeling like a normal human being! :D

I felt like it for about 2 weeks and then the cough for me lasted quite a while but I am asthmatic and I have a scared lung

steam and maybe some vix at night to help get it all moving :D

I have asthma too, which ironically never bothered me the entire time i smoked :rolleyes: I don't have a cough yet but i am sure it's coming! I'll maybe take your advise and go get some vix before it starts :)

Oh the joys of smoking, eh.

I would love to live there Bud -youre ever so lucky.

Regarding the vandal - we shall have the last laugh cos he turned and looked at

the cctv camera which is concealed in a wall and if you didn't know it was there you wouldn't realise it was(if you see what I mean!;)
