Avatar n tn Sounds like you could also be having some anxiety from quitting smoking also. That will pass. I would make sure your sugar wasn't high also. Make sure you don't eat too much as a replacement for smoking. Keep busy and stay away from smokers for now. Congratulations on quitting!!

Avatar m tn I get elevated heart rate after eating (mostly if I eat junk food). I got an EKG done during an event and it was ordinary sinus tachycardia. Be aware that your heart rate is supposed to increase after meals, especially large ones. Your metabolism increases, and blood is running to your stomach. A little mental focus on this - and the "problem" increases even more.
1462830 tn?1286660371 The IgM levels could be high due to a recent infection—may be viral or a fungal infection. Also a recent stress like quitting smoking can raise the levels. Good job at quitting smoking! Stick to it! Once you get over this withdrawal phase, the IgM levels should fall back to normal. Meanwhile ask your doctor to treat your withdrawal symptoms so that you are not lured towards smoking again. Take care!
Avatar f tn Symptoms such as headache, inability to concentrate, dizziness, time perception distortions, and the ubiquitous sweet tooth encountered by many, are often associated with this blood sugar drop. The symptoms of low blood sugar are basically the same symptoms as not having enough oxygen, similar to reactions experienced at high altitudes. The reason being the inadequate supply of sugar and/or oxygen means the brain is getting an incomplete fuel.

Avatar n tn ) dont starve yourself or youll end up having high blood pressure which is not good especially during pregnancy. It can bring on preterm labor.
Avatar m tn You may want to see a regular doctor to get a full blood panel done to see if there are any problems going on. Like Jerry said, sugar and caffeine themselves may be part of the problem and quitting smoking would be in your best interests. I smoked for 25 years and the doctor said it was the best thing I could have done for my heart. It's good you are being seen by a cardiologist but until then or if it happens again try drinking lots of water and see if it helps it slow down.
1201937 tn?1265591482 I hear you about feeling insane when not smoking. The symptoms when quitting really did come to me as a complete surprise and it feels impossible to deal with. I am considering an anti-depressant to help me this time. Have you ever used one?...after you quit smoking, I mean.

Avatar f tn Hello. I've quit smoking for 3 weeks now after 32 years of smoking. I am using the patch and my doctor put me on zyban when I saw her sept 5 because I couldn't stop crying. The crying has gotten better I feel terrible. I think I'm obsessed with my breathing to the point where I feel it all the time. My chest feels tight. I feel myself inhaling all the time. I've been to the emergency room twice now in two weeks. Chest films taken. They put me on high does prednisone for.
Avatar m tn This leaves the smoker in a slightly hyperglycemic condition, meaning he has more sugar in his blood than is normal. High blood sugar acts as an appetite suppressant, which may be why smokers think their cigarettes reduce hunger. Apparently, nicotine acts like an appetite suppressant. I didn't know that until here recently. Reminds me of the 'Kate Moss' diet: Coffee, cocaine, and cigarettes. lol. Don't give up on trying to quit. It gets a lot easier after 3 to 4 weeks.
Avatar f tn Because she has high blood pressure and it could get worse if she doesn't so that could lead to her passing away if she doesn't stop smoking or start eating healthy.
Avatar m tn Your theory is my theory - just the act of continuing to inhale something made me crave cigarettes like crazy which is why I quit the weed back in January with the hopes it would make quitting smoking much easier. It did! I quit c/t on Apr28th and haven't taken a single puff. I wish I could say I haven't smoked any weed at all in 7mos, but I can't. Have smoked a couple times after I hit the 6mo mark and as predicted, felt cravings for cigs that weren't there before.
Avatar f tn to quit cold turkey because the dangers of smoking to your baby are far worse than quitting cold turkey! I done it when i found out I was pregnant cause I just thought of being in a small space and not being able to breathe because of too much smoke! I am 24 weeks and havn't smoke since I found out at 5 weeks!
Avatar f tn I don't know if any of this is related to quitting smoking, but that's what I'm hoping is the answer. I stopped smoking around 2 months ago. I smoked for 20 years, about 1-1 1/2 packs per day. I noticed that I was having some chest pains and had occasional bouts of lightheadedness and went to the Dr. On May 3, they took blood, gave me an ekg and chest xray and almost all came back normal.

Avatar m tn All results showed no abnormalities except my cholestrol levels were near the high level ,my sugar was 90 (fasting) and 147( after drinking a glass of gluscose and tested after two hours). So doc recommened diet control+excersice and reduction and also one tab every night - Telasr - 40 mg. After that i have been checking by BP on daily basis with my BP meter at home and morning its around 120-125;80-85 and evening also same sometimes 125-130 and 85-90.
Avatar f tn I know how you feel people who say just quit aren't really helping just heaping guilt and stress onto an already guilty and stressed mum. I'm pregnant with my third and smoking has been hard to quit. My first was easy the morning sickness and nausea every time I smoked helped. With my second I struggled until I tried one of those really strong nicabate mints and that killed any desire to smoke, those things are nasty.
