cough

i want to know if it is normal to be breathless and wheezing after just 4 weeks quitting docs say chest is clear but at this moment feel real rough everyone says its normal but i never quit before but dont want to start again come this far now so any tips on what to do thank you

Good on yer Jacko, you're going great. You are free. Everyone has different recovery symptoms. Perhaps your lungs are cleaning themselves? I hope you feel better soon.

thanks for replies just want this cough and wheezing to get better most say its to do with no nicotine now so hope it is and heals soon dont worry not going back to fags now not come this far to relapse been told certain herbal teas are good just wondered if anyone else tried anything to help clear mucus my cough is dry so therefore not clearing as much as i would like them to

Jacko, I take 600 mg quaifenisen It helps loosen the congestion in your lungs and makes it easier to cough it up. You can buy Mucinex (which can be costly) or look for the generic brand as long as it is 400 or 600 mg. Dont forget nicotine dialated your airways, now without it, well its harder to get that air in...hang in there you can do this

thank you will try anything if it will ease this coughing at least gone 5 weeks now smoke free and proud of it
