lightheadiness and tired eyes
I am now coming up to the end of my 4th day cigarette and alcohol free and even though I am finding it not as bad as I thought and feel like I could go running (something I never do) I am feeling lightheaded and my eyes are tired... Do anyone know when these symptoms go???
It might take a few days to a couple of weeks for those feelings to pass...but stick with it...you are doing a great job. Get some extra sleep if you can, or a rest in te afternoon if you are able, as quitting does make you more tired than usual. I found it made me more tired for about two weeks.
I agree with elibeme....after about 10 days I stopped feeling so tired. (somedays I was sleeping for 16 hours, was crazy) I originally thought it was because I had to cut out coffee during the day (cigarettes and coffee went hand in hand for me) I also thought strange because everything I had read led me to believe that I would be restless and suffer from insomnia. So I am glad to hear that others have been suffering from the same symptoms whilst starting their journey to good health. Keep up the good work guys and always be proud of yourself. What a huge accomplishment we have made!!
