1072364 tn?1256147077 Okay so i'm sixteen years old, and I have been smoking ever since I was twelve, I've tried to quit many times before but I just cant seem to do it.. And my friends dont help, they actually think im making a mistake by trying to stop, And when I say im quitting they try to smoke in front of me and I cant resist. I know its getting to me because a few weeks ago i had bronkitus caused by smoking. I still have a horrible cough. I have no clue how to quit.
Avatar f tn Okay so i quit a few months ago after smoking for 2 years. Now i know it isnt long to cause any serious damage but i met up with a friend a few days ago and told her id quit and she told me the problems increase when you quit smoking e.g. the damage and chances of cancer. Now i think its aloud of rubbish but i googled it and some people have said it can and some have said it cant.
Avatar m tn Over the last couple months I’ve taken a couple breaks from smoking (one week off here or there). I start to feel better after a couple days and then I go back to smoking.. I’m traveling for the next couple week and plan on seeing my doctor when I get back. Valium seems to make me feel better… Acid reducers like Zantac don’t help all that much. The tightness in my throat also seems to get worse when I’m out in cold weather. I know this is an internet diagnosis….

Avatar m tn Donated a pint of blood on the day after stopping smoking. My blood sugars have been extremely high. this past week. Found no answers for that. Hope this may be of interest....
Avatar m tn s never really been an issue. Recently I develoloped serious problems with my voice and throat and I went to a specialist where I had a gastroscopy done as he felt it that my reflux could possibly be causing the problem. I was put on Protium 40 initially but my GP put me on Protium 20 after about three months(mistake on her part possibly) which has controlled it but I still get reflux from time to time. I have been on protium for 6 months approx but my vocal issues still exist.
Avatar m tn now 12 hour later i have a cramp like pain in my most upper chest against my throat, radiating into my throat.Also have a feeling of cold air when I breath, as if i have been eating strong peppermint(have this for weeks now) meds; clopidogrel,aspirin,beta blocker and statin (aspavor 5mg. I honestly feel like stopping all meds, and just let be what comes. as, have just been feeling so bad since MI and stent, and this is no quality of life.
Avatar f tn Last year I had a miscarriage around November and I to contributed it to that fact that right after I found out I was pregnant I stopped smoking completely. After four months of ttc I got pregnant again i knew I shld of stayed not smoking but was terrified if I did my body would react again and I would loose the pregnancy. So this time I smoked all the way up to 30 weeks I am now 31. Babies doing good I have completly stopped smoking as I plan on bf.
Avatar n tn I also used o take phyciatric medicine which I am no longer taking and have stopped in the beginning of Febuary. My cough had started some time shortly after that which was around the same time I quit smoking and am concerned if I should focus the fact that my cough is probably due to quitting smoking or even if stopping medicine like that could cause effects like cough.
Avatar m tn It causes long term health problems. You are only 17 so stopping now should not have any long lasting effects. Yes I know its not easy but it can be done.
Avatar f tn Did this start while smoking or after stopping? I quit smoking 2 1/2 years ago and I noticed that for the first couple of months I felt a little anxious, heart fluttering and flopping around. I also get the fluttery feeling after eating, which is when I would have had a cigarette. After first quitting, I also felt like I wasn't breathing deep enough. Yawned a lot. I think that was all cigarette and anxiety related.
Avatar f tn Did anyone else smoke during their pregnancy? I tried cutting down and stopping all together but it stresses me out which causes stress for the baby. Did anyone have problems at birth?
Avatar f tn Well anyways im getting a bad cough and its causing a sore throat. I read online that this is caused by quitting smoking cause ur body is healing and what not. Well just curious if any other former smokers went through this and how long it lasted. Does cough med help in this situation? I cant sleep its so bad. Coughing up phlegm every few minutes its soo annoying especially since i just got over a cold... I only have 4 wks left til my c section and just want to feel better by then.
Avatar n tn If you were my patient, I would advise you that there are many reasons to quit smoking if you are pregnant. Smoking does not cause birth defects, but It can cause other problems like failure of the baby to grow well. It is also harmful to the health of the mother and the baby after birth. SO if you can quit, you would definitely be advised to do so! Good luck!
Avatar f tn Thanks guys =)
Avatar n tn Hello, Wondering if anyone can advise me here, since the beginning of Oct last year I have been feeling under the westher right up to now. I was feeling totally fine one day then woke up the next day feeling 'off', I had slight headaches, dizzyness and my head felt hot. The problems have always been slight and never major but they just keep reoccuring on off on off.
Avatar n tn I dont think you can get ill. never heard of that. i've quit before and sparked up..

Avatar m tn Hello, I am a 20 year old male from Texas and I have been very healthy up to this point in my life. I quit smoking cigarettes and marijuana 3 weeks ago after a year of use. I have been having many persistent symptoms the doctors are telling me is anxiety but they are varied and last all day everyday for the past two weeks. Most recently i have been experiencing chest tightness, shortness of breath, and a feeling of blood rushing to my head from the back of my neck.
Avatar f tn After every time I eat anything I begin coughing until I get the phlegm out of my throat. It is always clear, but it is quite thick. This has been going on for 4 to 5 years, but it didn't used to be so bad. It used to happen only after I ate spicy food or food that was really hot. Now it happens after everything that I eat. I do not seem to have any other symptoms. I do smoke about 1 pack every 2 weeks, so not that often, but i do.
Avatar m tn I have no experience with cessation of smoking and its effect on thyroid levels. I did find this info that might be of interest. It suggests that thyroid med dosage would need to be increased enough to offset the effect of stopping smoking. Based on the description of the effect, I expect that the increase would need to be maintained ongoing.

Avatar f tn Yesterday I noticed my throat was a little mucousy and I was coughing a little, then later that night I got a really bad cough and when I would try to breath like normal it feels like there's a scratch in my throat that makes me cough so I can only breath shallow without coughing. I also got coughing so hard I coughed up/vommited mucous 3 times and it was very thick. When I start coughing it's hard to stop and I feel like i can't breath.
315 tn?1230998574 m off and will be starting oral Tamoxifen after the 1st of the year. We will do a ct scan before I start so we know exactly where I stand. He has in the meantime given me an order for IV Kyril with a bag of fluids anytime I'm feeling bad again and can't keep the nausea and diarrhea under control. So today i had a nice bag of fluids with pottasium and magnesium in there. I always feel better when he gives me extra fluids. I'm really happy about this...
Avatar f tn Apart from that I do not have any health problems even throat and tongue are fine if I do not smoke at all. I had smoked for 2years (6-8 cigarettes' per day) without any problem but again due to this issue since last 2 years I am smoking occasionally. I visited two doctors and as per one of them its because of sinusitis that I am getting frequent throat infection while as per other doctor smoking is aggravating the acid reflux in the upper tract causing infection and irritations.
