Lung Pain When Breathing Deeply

[nsd_user663_40401]

I'm not to sure how long it's been since I quit, probably just over 1 week. I'm currently using the Nicorete quick mist spray.

Anyway, I had the Flu about 2 and a half weeks ago, it was really bad, and after the Flu I had this horrible dry sort of cough. It was persistent. It what made me quick in the first place. The cough is getting better, but I am told it can last 8 weeks.

I woke up this morning though and when I breathed deeply it hurt my lungs. I can't explain the feeling, like cement at the bottom of my lungs. But, within 15 minutes it's gone and my lungs feel normal. I fell asleep this afternoon, woke up and the same thing.

I have no idea if it has anything to do with alcohol. Last night I had 3 pints of beer. First time I've drank in a while.

Has anyone experienced this when quitting?

Hi Joojar,

Sounds like classic 'quitters flu' to me. Have a read through the forum and you'll find that most of us experienced similar symptoms. I really don't think you need lose any sleep over it as it will soon pass.

And well done on your quit!!

Hi, does sound like muscle strain from the coughing, which wouldn't be surprising after a bout of 'flu.

All sorts of symptoms happen in a quit it seems, have a read.

Well done on your quit, that's great keep going.

Well this morning a woke up and it wasn't there. Although I was coughing a little bit. The girlfriend was smoking around me, but I asked her to smoke in the garden. I have no chance of relapse, I can't stand cigarettes. Even when I smoked I couldn't stand them.

Just wish this annoying cough would go. It's generally just a one quick cough type cough now, it was worse before so it's getting better.

Thanks guys. I'm on about 4 quickmist sprays a day now. I don't think I actually need them, it's just habit now, so once I run out I'd say I've officially quit
