Common Questions and Answers about Chantix and chest pain

chantix

Avatar f tn My suggestion to you is try stopping the chantix and see how you feel. Then you could resume taking it if you feel the withdrawals and cravings come back really strong? Might want to ask a Doctor on that one just to be sure. As far as I know the headaches are part of the withdrawal and I have a bad one right now.
1096641 tn?1271707225 I used Chantix and didn't have any complications. I have never heard of headaches related to Chantix and I just googled "chantix and headaches" which brought up several articles but there was nothing that links the two (mentions of Chantix and headache on the same page). Just wondering Terry where you heard/read it? My husband suffered from cluster headaches and they were nothing like the ones you describe. His were so intense and lasted sometimes for hours.
Avatar m tn Personally I had to quit taking Chantix a few quits ago. I had horrible nightmares and started hallucinating. Even if your neck pain isn't related to Chantix I'd stop it immediately so the doctors can determine what the problem is.
Avatar n tn I've got the same thing going on. My chest hurts but it's centered in my breasts. Also got a bit of back pain and neverending nausea. I've been on chantix for a week and a half and will NOT be refilling it. These new pains are the last straw for me!
Avatar m tn I have a question for those of you who used the Chantix to kick the cigarettes. I have smoked on and off for years, and I have quit several times for long periods of time, but this time I am in need of some sort of assistance doing it (the thought of no cigarettes is worse for me than the thought of no norco ever was). I don't want to spend any more money on cigarettes, I hate the smell of cigarette smoke, I always have, pretty weird for a smoker, huh?
Avatar f tn I am 41 smoker and for over 2 months I have had cronic pain between my shoulder blades and it feels like its thru to the front of my chest. I am not sure if this is muscular or something else I should be more concerned about???
Avatar f tn He has recently been told that it is totally occluded. It cannot be stented further. He sweats a lot has chest pain a lot and yet when taken to the emergency the blood test showed he was not having a heart attack and blood pressure was only a little high. He is a diabetic, with shortness of breath trying to quit smoking with chantix. Is he a candidate for bypass or not and will that also stop up as well?
729288 tn?1251254433 I will pay the $215 on monday for my shipment then I am waiting the 2 weeks suggested and beginning. Here is my question. I am also on chantix.. the stop smoking drug. I really need to stop because I think 27 years is long enough to smoke for anyone. Does anyone know if it will have any kind of reaction? My doc told me to go ahead it wouldnt hurt me.
Avatar f tn For 3 months now I have had pain in my chest. My doctor did a CT scan and a 2cm nodule was picked up on my left thyroid. It is a single nodule. My thyroid messured 4cm on the left and 5cm on the right. They did a FNA which came back suspicous. I have an appointment on 9-23 with surgeon as my doctor suggested immediate removal. I am a smoker of 35 years and my sister was just diagnosed with breast cancer carring the mutated gene. What does suspicous mean and if this is cancer when will I know?
Avatar n tn Yes, I'm experiencing breast pain too. It just started today. I've been on chantix for a week and a half. I have a bit of back pain too in addition to neverending nausea, so I won't be taking it after this month.
596605 tn?1369946627 read a few more posts on Chantix side effects, and if you still feel that deep fatigue, I would quit the Chantix immediately!...and most especially if you have any kind of emotional issues (I don't mean to assume) as Chantix can exacerbate them. There are many other quit aids to choose from if Chantix turns out to be not right for you.
Avatar f tn It even feels as though my lungs feel hot and dry. I was achy, all over including chest pains and pains down my arms. I was getting a strange startle feeling in different locations on my body. My legs one heartbeat, torso the next, these in no relation to my heartbeat. A different throbbing sensation, especially in my face and lips. Worst of all, a fatigue so severe it was like dragging 50 pounds of wet sand behind me. Some dizziness.
390388 tn?1279636213 I started taking the levothyroxine and chantix at the same time and got numbness and tingles in my chin. I stopped both at the same time and the tingles stopped. Started the levo at the direction of one of my docs and no wierd stuff. Also, there is a thread on here relating to chantix and thyroid issues do a search on chantix in the medhelp search. It is worth looking at before you get too deep in it and feel worse. Some of the thread mentioned chantix causing hypothyroid.
Avatar f tn My next period which was roughly 3 weeks later was NORMAL! No excess bleeding...no crippling cramps and no pain while using the bathroom. When I told my doctor about this she was amazed! If you think you have endometriosis I high recommend taking a daily dose of parsley. It's cheap and it worked for me. There are no known side effects either. I hope this helps...
Avatar m tn By the way, you can always tell that a drug is affecting brain neurotransmitters when you see those warnings they give out, as you do with Chantix, and they warn that they can cause suicidal and violent thoughts and the like. This warning is a dead giveaway that the drug is affecting similar things that antidepressants and anti anxiety drugs and anti psychotics are playing around with.
Avatar f tn t go away, dizziness, confusion, trouble breathing, and pain behind my eyes. I have had every test and they can find nothing. Last night I looked up Chantix side effects on the web and found HUNDREDS of people with problems like mine that persist long after they stopped taking the pill. Many people in their thirties that just had a heart attack one day out of the blue (this is what I am most afraid of happening to me) Does anyone know how to undo the damage that chantix is causing?
Avatar m tn Hello everyone,I have a progressive case of hepatitis C and want to use the drug Chantix to quit smoking and worried about the side affects.Does anyone have any knowledge of this drug interaction.
Avatar n tn For 17 months i am still undx will get tests back in a few days ...and i want to finally quit smoking but they want me to wait to fill the prescription until all my tests come back now im getting worried ...
Avatar f tn I awoke from my sleep last night and was stretching my legs. I believe that I clenched my toes, flexed my ankle, and then flexed my knee. My gastroc contracted incredibly tightly, causing excruciating pain, and I was completely unable to move my leg from knee down. I was in so much pain that it took at least 30 seconds to explain to my boyfriend what was happening. He proceeded to manually extend my gastroc, relieving the acute pain.
664798 tn?1225821618 I still have a pain issue that I try and ignore.........Still though, I think the Chantix was the problem at the time, after I stopped taking it?.....I was quite a bit better, still complaining but better.
Avatar m tn i have no personal experience with that but i do know some here on the forum have been taking chantix and they did not have any problems. good luck on the smoking and mount everest. hang on and maybe someone with more knowledge may come along. in the meantime you might try googling that ?
Avatar f tn Certainly it's better if you cut down on the cigarettes. Ask your OB or RE to prescribe Chantix for you. I hear it's ok to take during pregnancy and it really helps with trying to quit smoking. Know you're not a lone if you can't quit, many women aren't able to completely quick during pregnancy and the baby turns out okay. I'm not endorsing it of course, just letting you know that you're not the only that's pregnant and could just cut back.
Avatar n tn Although Chantix does not contain any nicotine, it acts on nicotine receptors in the brain. This is how the drug works to help people stop smoking. By binding to nicotine receptors, it blocks the effects of nicotine at those sites, helping to prevent the pleasurable effects of smoking. However, Chantix doesn't just bind to nicotine receptors; it also acts a little bit like nicotine, which may help to prevent symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.
Avatar f tn The reality is that these drugs - Chantix and antidepressants (which includes Zyban, which is the drug Buproprion also known as Wellbutrin) interact with our brain chemistry and Chantix has not been around long enough to have comprehensive and conclusive long term reasearch evidence (researches talk that basically means we don't know what we may find way down the road and all new Rx's have this risk).
407029 tn?1253992623 I was smoke free within 3 weeks of starting the Chantix and on March 4, 2008 I will be smoke free for an entire year! They recommend that you use the Chantix for 3 to 6 months. I did so well with it that I was off it in less than 3 months. When you start forgetting to take it you know it's time to come off it. If I could, I we be a walking advertisement for Chantix. I had tried the patch, the gum, zyban and hypnosis in the past and got absolutely no where.
Avatar n tn I am getting RUQ front and back pain that comes and goes during the day and night and sometimes lasts up to 8-10 hours. I have read that biliary dyskinesia can sometimes last that long! Any info that you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Good luck!
