Just quit smoking and Im scared? -
I just woke up in the middle of night frightened. I can breathe just fine but I feel a great deal of chest congestion, not only that Im freezing. Has anyone else experienced this after quitting cold turkey? This is my like my 6th day and I never want a cigarette again
You-re experiencing withdrawal symptoms. They will eventually go away. Try some relaxation exercises using deep breathing.
Here-s one.
Close your eyes and tense all the muscles in your body and then relax them.
Inhale deeply filling lungs with air and hold it.
Slowly release the air as you exhale and keep doing it until you feel you can-t breathe out anymore.
Imagine all the stress leaving your body.
Repeat 3 or more times.
Hope this works.
I have suffered exact what you are describing. I took a very hot bath and it helped clear all of the crap out of my lungs.
With that said though, if it continues on for more than a few hours, you should consider going to a doctor and having him check you out. But more than likely your system is probably just starting to clear up.
