Anxiety Or Death
I dont really know how to explain what is going on with me. Today i have reached 52 days. i remember being at day 8 and feeling like I would never see this double digit day. I thought I would have failed by now. So wow.
Now let me get to my point at 52 days I have still encountered bouts where it feels like there is pressure in my chest. And that my lungs sometimes arent catching a full breath that they desire to be comfortable. Ill sometimes panic and get a tightness in my chest or minor to moderate pain. Ive had docs tell me its anxiety but to me it feel like its something else and I just cant shake that feeling. I have a doc appt on the 13th and we will discuss the blood draw I had last week. Hopefully nothing is wrong. Although I definetly know there is something not right.
Hello there, first of all i would like to say im sorry if my English is bad.
So what i would like to say to you is, stay strong and positive.
im now at 242 days of quit smoking, i do feel like what you mention before, chest pain, headache , anxiety , and depreseed. but now the chest pain, is gone. i did a lot of check with my self, i see a doctor EVERY week ( different kind of doctors i see) and the result is still the same all ok. i thought that i have heart problem. But all i think is wrong.
now all the pain in my chest is gone. but i still have anxiety and muscle inching.
if that thing happen, i want you to do an excercise, or take a deep breath and calm your self. Try to change your normal routine. distract yourself with work, make your body move . and i take vitamin B complex even tough it expensive but its help me a lot, when i consume vitamin b i mind become relax .
so yeah keep it up and stay stong and keep fighting !
sorry for my poor English ! i hope you understand what i want to deliver :D
Hot bossie you did great. I have a doc appt this Wednesday and will request a Spirometry test which tests the amount of air coming into my lungs and out. You are probably right and it will be nothing but its better to check. It may just be that I am watching more than I used to with what my body does. Either way i would like to make sure.
Yes Wendy I am almost at 70 as of tomorrow actually!! I have had my moments where I have to remind myself that I dont smoke anymore. ITs crazy to think that way. I just recently made a trip to the bar with my spouse and after a few drinks it felt like I wanted a cigarette but reminded myself that is not me any longer. So here I am at almost 70 days and I can really say that it has gotten ALOT easier. My anxiety is at bay. I made it this far without gaining alot of weight as most do which I was worried about. I feel at peace with my decision.
