quit smoking lungs hurt

Did any of you have to quit smoking when you got pregnant? How did you do it? With my first or was easy because it made me sick but now I'm craving one all the time!

I quit smoking 5 days ago and I am feeling like my breathing is somewhat shallow. Also, my lungs feel like they are being squeezed, I dont really know any other way to describe it. Also, in my upper back area, pretty much opposite my lungs, hurts as well. Is all of these symptoms normal for quitting smoking? I havent started the horrible coughing stage yet but my lungs do feel like stuff is loosening in them. Sort of like bronchitis. Does anyone know when that will start as well?

i have an intermittent-throbbing kinda pain coming from the back of my chest if that makes sense, i've just quit smoking cannabis and cigs 24 hours ago, after 6 years, im 21 and quite fit, i this normal? its really stressing me out and i just want to have a cigg!!

can smoking harm your baby like if you go outside and smoke and come back in and be around your baby will it hurt your baby.

I quit smoking 2 weeks ago I used to smoke less than a pack a day for about 3 years, right before I quit I began to feel a slight chest pain that occurs 4 or 5 times a day mostly in the left side of my chest and then it disappears in a minute or two and that's it, no cough no tightness nothing but it worried me a lot so I quit now after 2 weeks I still experience the same pain, what could it possibly be?

re going to see a big difference. I felt like you when I quit - my lungs hurt terribly but that was because I had bronchitis for many months and was smoking on top of it. Have you been to your doctor?

I am on day 17 and i still feel anxiety and a tightness in my chest. I quit smoking almost 4 months ago along with depression med, topomax and something for leg pain at night.

I'm currently 28 weeks 3 days and before I became pregnant I was smoking for 4 years a pack and a half a day ... I found out I was pregnant at 6 weeks but I didn't quit until 8 weeks.. every time I smoked in those 2 weeks I felt so sad that I would hurt baby so one day I just threw cigs away and honestly I was so excited about baby that I didn't even have time for withdrawals...

i hope it isnt too late for me my cousin died of mouth cancer at 35 so it defintily runs in my family my lungs always hurt once a week and i have a hard time breathing a lot asthma inhalers dont help nothing does

I have been on wellbutrin to quit smoking for 10 days now, I have such chest tightness I feel as though I can't breath, like there is no air in my lungs. I heard this is a side effect should I keep taking it?

I am excited that I have quit smoking for 4 months now. However, prior to quitting I never really had trouble breathing. When I first quit I felt great. Now all of sudden I am wheezing and I feel like I can't get enought air. My chest is extremely heavy. Why is this happening? Will it go away? Why did it start after I quit?

I quit smoking the day after i found out too. I was a smoker for 5 years until september when i found out i having a baby. To me its all in the mind, and you have to be strong and know that you dont need it , its bad for you and your baby. My husband helped me get thru it , my baby my family is too important to me than a cigarette. Just remind yourself that your strong , you dont need it, its all in the mind. Whats in the heart is what matters.

So it's almost been 2 months since quitting, and although I do feel much much better. I am still getting some nights where I'm laying there and if feels like my lungs are burning... it's an inflammation feeling in my lungs and it varies in location. When I quit smoking it was like more intense and steady for like 4 days straight and although it has gotten better it's still there.

What are the side effects of smoking when pregnant? Did any of u girls smoke when u were pregnant? I'm 16 weeks and trying to quit but it a lot harder than I thought .

YOu know, my sister said the same thing when she quit smoking. I am not sure why that would be...I do know that there is usually an increased productive cough as the cilia in the lungs begin to function normally to rid your lung of debris. If it is really bothersome, it wouldn't hurt to run it by your doctor to see what he or she thinks. I hope that you get answers soon...

You haven't been smoking long so I doubt if you've built up congestion in your lungs. Do you have a smoker's cough? If you do then it may show up...but unlikely. I want to give you a little advice. Quit now...just quit while you still can. I started when I was 17....and here I am at 55 desperately needing to get off of them...but one addiction at a time. Do they look for smoking in the Navy? Sorry I'm kind of ignorant on this issue.

Like I said I have quit smoking.

My question is this though. I recently quit smoking marijuana. I quit smoking cigarettes about 3 years ago and have not touched them since however, I've been smoking marijuana for the most part on a daily basis since I was about 17/18 or so. My concern is, especially after reading up on it, that I may have done irreversable damage to my lungs and have permanently doomed myself in terms of contracting COPD and lung cancer.

I never went through the coughing phase when I quit. I too coughed when I was smoking. I have 70 some days of not smoking and I have the occasional dry cough. I hope you don't go through the coughing either. :) Yuck, coughed when smoking! I was so addicted I wouldn't stop smoking the cig. even if I was coughing. Again, YUCK!

I am 10 weeks pregnant and I just found out 2 weeks ago, before I found out I was smoking weed and cigs really heavly I was wondering would that hurt the baby ? Like my doctor told me to slow down and not to quit cold turkey but I would just reallly like to know whatt the effects are . And those first 2 months that I didn't know would that cause a lot of damage ?

there are a lot of ways to quit smoking one is using electric cigarettes, which you can use as an alternative to real ones the advantage of it you can adjust the nicotine content of it, if you want to make it lower and lower. Another is to quit smoking little by little, just minus 1 stick per week from your regular number of sticks.

Good for you for quitting. When you quit, i've heard the lungs go through an adjustment phase, more phelgm might be produced as the lungs heal. Even though you have a nicotine replacement, your body is detoxing from all the other chemicals in a cigarette, this slows you down. I wouldn't sweat 2 minutes, your body will bounce back soon.

Once I took the test that was jt , no more. I love being able to take a deep breath and not have my lungs hurt. I want to be a role model for my children so I'm done. Do I miss it, sometimes but is it worth it to stop, yes!

I was also a really heavy smoker, it took me two weeks into my pregnancy to quit, not to bad if I say so :P I just thought about "my baby is technically smoking this cigarette too....its going into their lungs too..." and that was enough for me to quit... just a few puffs isn't good cuz that's like smoking a lot more then that to them... you just need a little motivation and I hope I helped a little bit :) good luck hun!

s anything wrong with smoking pot, but you still have the act of inhaling something in your lungs everyday which makes it hard to stay quit with cigs. I was a pot smoker too. Quit almost 3mos ago. Smoking pot led me to fail my quit each and every time.
