Day 51
I am day 51 of not smoking but wanted to find out if it is normal to now be experienced quite frequent panic attacks? my anxiety levels seem to be hightened now. I think things were more under control as a smoker, can this be possible? it is only the last 2 weeks this has started to increase, elevated heart rate etc. hoping this all goes away before to much longer.
Smokers need nicotine and whatever other chemicals are in the cigarettes. Not having a cig makes a smoker feel abnormal whereas non smokers feel very normal without cigarettes. Stick with it and it’ll get better but check with a doctor if you don’t start feeling better. Good luck and success in your quit.
Hi Azza_33 hang in there it will get better and guess what if you cave and have a cigarette it will give you nothing but disappointment in yourself. Keep busy and just take slow deep breaths if you feel overwhelmed. If the panic attacks continue for much longer it may be an idea to discuss with your Dr but NO smokes you have 51 days that say you're a fighter so do not turn back, keep your eyes on the prize😊
