stomach pain quit smoking

If I may regress, I quit smoking on Halloween Night, October 31, 1964. I collapsed with a perforated ulcer. The doctor told me I had to quit smoking because nicotine, a drug, activates the acid pumps in my stomach lining and would irritate my ulcer. It appears that maybe the lack of nicotine has caused some change in your stomach. Ten years ago, I developed a second ulcer, and I have taken one OTC Prilosec a day for 10 years with no problem.

Why do i have pain in my upper left stomach, nausea after i eat, loss of appetite, and everytime i drink water it makes it worse

Can anyone describe in as much detail as possible what kind of pain or symptoms (if any) they felt after quitting smoking? I have felt this gnawing pain and sometimes sharp pain like being poked with a needle in my stomach somewhere during the time I quit smoking. I can't tell if it is from quitting or a symptom of something else. I know I should go see a doctor but I am so low on money w/ no insurance. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hi I am a 24 going on 25 year old male. I recently quit smoking as well. I smoked almost a pack a day. Two years ago I started having a stomach issue. At that point my symptoms were pain/discomfort in the stomach with mucus in stool and what felt like constipation. I had an endoscopy/colonoscopy done. The endoscopy revealed an ulcer which had an h.pylori infection. I was given prevacid to treat it. The symptoms never went away.

Unable to have normal BM, pee pressure very low. Morning sweats. Lower stomach, dull pain which comes and goes. Stopped smoking May 25th, 12 and it seems to get worse everyday.

Also, my sense of smell and taste is peaked and nothing tastes good? I thought when you quit smoking it HELPS your taste buds or does it take time?

Hi Nirban I smoked when I was younger too. Here in the USA, we have a patch. That helps. Dr can prescribe zyban & that's supposed to help too. When I quit, I did not use that stuff though. This is what I did. I bought some straws. Then I cut them to the length of a cigarette. I took them with me, so when I felt like smoking I'd hold a straw like a cigarette. I'd even puff or draw a breath on the straw. Helped to relax me. I'd have something to do with my hand too.

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!

Iv had stomach problems for a while combined with Weightloss and everything,EXCEPT stomach pain. This is all probably due to celiac though. Anyway a while back i quit smoking and started vaping but that probably made me have more nicotine. About a month ago i quit that too but since then iv had these weird symptoms like stomach ache which i have never had despite my other problems. Also got this itching feeling along my arms and back as well as headaches. Cant sleep at all either.

Hello for the past few months i have been having severe stomach pain and nausea, i havnt vomited from this yet but its makes doing things very difficault the pain last for hours at a time some days like today i woke up at 7am, and ive been experiancing the nausea and discomfort from about 8am to now its still going on at 11:20am. Ive been to the doctors he thought it was G.E.R.

I started smoking when I was about 10, quit when I was 50. Got a carton for my 13th birthday. One of the 50 times I quit smoking I was sitting there wearing a patch on each arm, chewing a piece of Nicorette, puffing on a Marlboro all at the same time. It's rough!! It finally took. What bothered me the most at first was people smoking, but I made an oath that I would never be a reformed smoker that looks down their nose at smokers. One of the times I failed we went to the Casino.

I was the same way, my doc said to wein myself off because if you quit it can shock the baby but I slowly weaned myself off till about 8 wks and started feeling sick now every time I smell or even think about smoking I feel sick to my stomach and I haven't smoked for almost 5 months, she said the same for caffeine and working out too

i am a man of 30 from India,I would like to quit as I do not want complications in life.i do feel little pain or discomfort in my stomach @ times but that clears up once I drink water or walk a little.i also have a tendency for gerd/gas since a long time and it was there before I took up smoking.at times I do get scared that I may develop stomach or lung or any other cancer due to smoking hence I wanna quit smoking as soon as possible.could you tellme my risks of developing cancer?

HI, i recently started wellbutrin i have never taken it before but I have taken zyban to quit smoking and I had no side effects and according to the bottle they seem the be the same thing (generic wise), I have also started a low carb diet very recently.. The problem I want to talk about is something Ive had for a while but since starting wellbutrin it seems worse. I have a burning full feeling on my upper left abdomen just below my ribs.

Yea i wanna quit but i hear if u go "cold turkey" n just quit then that's harmful for the bby as well. Idk I'm confused Lol.

I quit smoking and then got sob, but I got some years on you, although they couldn't find a significant lung cause, no emphysema or copd?? Could you have a hernia?? I definately feel the breathlessness more when I have to bend, lets say to vacuum. hopefully more will post, there are some recent posts abt the same thing, I think from todays posts!!

I have been a smoker most of my life, I quit smoking approxamitely two years ago with the help of nicotine gum.

Hi, i have smoked marijuana for about 2 years now. I have never been a heavy smoker, just once or twice a weekend. But for the first year and a half i never had any problems but recently after i smoke i get a pain in my stomach and lungs. Its not severe but its just uncomfortable..i don't know what it could be because i never get it when i'm not high. so i'm just wondering what this could be..

I had thanksgiving dinner and not long after eating I started getting bad stomach pains. I have gas or had gas and got sick 6 times. Stomach pain isn't cramping and there is no spotting but the pain won't subside. I always have some sort of stomach ache and nausea all the time but this pain is different. This isits 1st pregnancy and I'm just not sure what to do. Tried calling my boyfriend but he's sleeping and has his phone off.

Would chain smoke one after the other (instead of the normal every 15 mins.) I quit smoking 3mos ago. Not only did my pain levels go down, it also keeps me from taking too many meds since I don't want to trigger a craving. So y'all mean by smoking since age 14 is how my DDD throughout entire spine came about? I did this to myself???

Anyone have tips on how to quit smoking cigarettes?

Hello and hope you are doing well. Your symptoms of acidity, abdominal pain and shortness of breath could all be attributed to GERD, (Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease), where the acid contents of the stomach come up into the esophagus. Since medications don't seem to be helping much why don't you try life style measures. Take frequent small meals. Eat dinner about two hours before sleeping. Elevate the head end of the bed.

with only small inflamation on the Osophagus. Doc told me to watch the diet, reduce caffine, quit smoking e.t.c and prescribled some acid reduction pills for me.. For next 2 weeks, i was feeling good on the medication. However after more than a month, which i have alrerady stopped the medication, the stomach cramps ~ irregular loose/muddy bowels came back..the burping and occassional chest pains also came back. i want to know whether i am really facing GERD..

So I've managed to quit smoking and now I'm hungry ALL THE TIME! My stomach is growling at me every other hour and I just can't seem to get enough to eat. Blah... I've gained 4 lbs so far and the Dr advised me to maintain my weight, not gain. Sigh... at least I've quit smoking.
