Re: A word about chest ache, please

Hi there Avator. At one month quit I have more chest pain now than when I
quit. But it is a different type of pain. MY chest pain is really
unexplainable or more like a tickling pain. It is not worse or more severe
than a month ago but it is constant.....always there. The chest pain I had
before I quit would come and go. When I was quit for nearly three months I
had the very same symptoms. Near three months they were nearly gone.

We probably all experience different aches and pains. Most are probably
just from getting older. If you had time I could give you a good long list
and you could probably do the same. I believe around age 35 is when they
all started very very slowly. lol Guess we all wonder what pain is the one
that needs a doctor and that is always a hard decision to make. I have gone
to the emergency with the chest pain I have now only to be told that my
lungs are clear. Whatever.....so home I go to wonder what to do. Quit
smoking was the only choice left.
hugs

Hi,

I quit smoking nearly three months ago cold turkey - no patches, no
nothing.
After having smoked continually for more than 30 years (I am 48+ now)!

Even though I topped out at over a pack-a-day around the time I quit and
with a pretty sedentary work- and life-style, I never felt the
"shortness-of-breath" or the slight "constricted-or-tightening chest"
feeling that some of my other smoke-pals used to get.

Now, I have started to feel those symptoms, pretty mildly so, I must say.

I have a check-up coming up soon, but would like to hear from quit-smoking
peers and elders if this is part of the quitting process. Somebody here
told
me it is - like it was the damaged tissues in the lungs healing or
regrowing/renewing or something.

Not really apprehensive, but I am curious. I have taken to some mild
exercises these days as advised.

Regards and thanks in anticipation.
