Common Questions and Answers about Chest pain quitting smoking
pain
I have for the last week had a throbbing pain in my solar plexus (right in the centre of the chest on the little bone at the bottom), a feeling of a tight chest, but my airflow is fine. I am asthmatic but it is well under control. I am coughing up mucus and am fairly stuffed up, all signs that my body is cleaing out the crap in my system. My only concern is the pain in my solar plexus. I have also started exercising again and being more active.
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.
ve been checked out, I suggest the chest pain is anxiety created by the nicotine absence. Some quitters use nicotine gum or patches to help take the edge off nicotine's absence.
Many quitters use a rubber band on their wrist to snap as a distraction. You carry a puzzle book or good pocketbook to read when you find nervous tension bothersome and want something more substantial as a distraction.
com/heart-disease/heart-disease-angina However, It is most likely inflammation of the bronchi which is very common and why many people have chest pain after giving up smoking. However, it is really best to be examined by a doctor to make sure. Your lungs are going back to normal if you will and many people do have some chest discomfort after smoking. See your doctor to be safe but am very pleased to read that you are no longer smoking. Keep up the good work!
everything you have written on here tells me that. True heart related chest pain is not located on one side or the other on the chest. Pain, if you are having it while resting or sitting in a chair, that is heart related would be caused by a very severe form of heart disease, which would have easily shown up on an EKG. The numbness could be a neck issue. Have you considered seeing a nuerologist? A gastroenterologist? You might want to consider seeing one or both of those two specialists.
I see you mentioned no difficulty in breathing, however a cough and mild chest pain could also be due to illness. What is the chest pain like? Although you are young, many people are starting to have heart disease and heart attacks at younger ages, including in their 20s. I'm not sure if there is a risk for you, but this should definitely be addressed by a doctor to rule out any cardiac issues.
I cut down smoking in march haven't bought a pack since then cut down to one cig a day ( with vape) however I was up to two packs a day in the last 1 1/2 years but it used to not be that bad my throught hurts a little bit but I also have dry mouth and I smoke a vape which I believe might put some tension on my throat. I haven't had a cig in a month and I'm going to get off the vape.
Nice information about quitting smoking side effects. Quitting smoking side effects are mainly to do with the body trying to detox itself from all of the harmful chemicals that you have been putting into your body by smoking cigarettes. You always have to bear in mind from the beginning of any attempt at quitting smoking that the benefits for you are going to be fantastic. Mild depression or sadness, there goes your best friend that you turned to in need.
I have been smoking on and off since i was thirteen. But even before i was smoking I would have chest pains in the center of my chest while exercising. Now since I've started smoking, the pain just comes and goes when i take deep breaths or get up fast. It's not a severe pain, more like a discomfort. I have told my doctor about it, they did a stress test and everything. I had the chest pains but they didn't see anything wrong with my pulse.
theres a 1-800 number for quitting smoking. or you can try drinking a glass of ice water every time you get an urge. or sucking/chewing on a straw, chewing gum, sunflower seeds, snacking lightly in general. rubberband on your wrist. taking a brisk walk. theres all sorts of things you can do.
I also recommend figuring out what makes you crave the most. for me, I have to have a cig not to long after waking up, and after eating.
My trigger, mainly is anger, I thought, until I relapsed AGAIN after April and finally realized my other trigger is my chronic pain. Smoking was helping me cope with it. Smoking also Increases my pain so 38days ago, I was done with smoking for good and I feel very secure in saying that. I don't miss it a bit!
I think of it this way. My pain will never go away and anger and stress will always be a part of my life...I have no control over those as they are human emotions...

i have been getting pain occasionally since maybe 4 or 5 times a week,
the pain only lasts for minutes, like a sort of stabbing pain to then being a dull ache across my chest, i have used my nitro spray 4 times since i came out of hospital but i am unsure if i should of used it or not??
nobody is giving me a straight answer to how many times a day maybe could i use my nitro spray.??
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.
