Stories & experiences

Welcome Icanquit, in answer to your question, I have not experienced these things after I quit smoking, others who read this may have had these experiences for quite some time, because everyone seems to be so different with any bodily changes.

It is good you are seeing your doctor and not relying on what we say on this site specifically. It would be beneficial to write out when these conditions appear and work out for yourself what other activities could be causing it before you go and see your doctor again. This will ease your own mind and make it clear to your doctor.

Whatever you come up with do not start smoking again, this will not resolve any issue you have with your health it will only make it worse and you will feel disappointed in yourself. When you have collected enough information make an appointment to see your doctor again, that would be my plan. NOPE (not one puff ever)

Took the Chest x-ray and ECG everything is Fine. I am Having a Problem with the GAS and Acid reflex and it might be just a healing process

Hi and Welcome. Many people experience varying issues on quitting smoking and no 2 exactly alike. If your doctor said all is good then take it from there and get even better! Eat healthier and meditate, and exercise! Oh wait, you started doing all of that too, being more mindful of your health as well as nibbling instead of smoking. Gas is caused by a change in diet. Depression by a lack of serotonin, anxiety because you don't have nicotine isn't giving the jolts smoking gave you. All of these imbalances can be corrected by a healthy diet. Gradually increase gassy foods with fiber like beans and flax. Oh so good, but your body needs to adjust to all these great changes!
