My chest hurts because i just quit smoking how can i make it go away? -
i smoked about a pack every 5 days for about 4 years. and i have dry moth i stopped cold turkey
hang in there
your chest doesn-t hurt because you quit honey, it hurts because you were a smoker....
it will take awhile before the hurt clears up.
I know it-s hard - trust me.
drink lots of water - swish it around in your mouth.
drink juice too - if you are worried about calories, drink a sweetened drink powder or something.....ANYTHING to prevent you from lighting up again

You-re awesome--congratulations, long term I am sure your chest will thank you. Some people I know found that things like cinnamon candy helped them quit (I don-t really know why). I would try and find something else rewarding to do--eat somethings you really like, or get some new music, etc. It will take a little while for your body to get used to smoke free life.
The chest pain is not from a lack of smoking. Instead the smoking probably was the cause of the chest pain due to the blood vessels being constricted in your chest which causes a lack of oxygen which causes the pain. If you are suffering chest pains go to your medical provider.
Dont think about it and it will go away i promise
it will stop by itself with a little time. i smoked for 20 years and got to a point where my chest hurt almost constantly... after being stopped for a while it never does anymore..
It-s all natural. It-ll go away soon.
it is all focus, don-t focus on any of the habit that is craving your return, think out side the box give it to your doctor and say xannax, or Ny Quill or just do short breathes and stop trying for the big cigarette hits kind of feeling in your lungs, you have to remember the guy in you has been in to the habit for long time and you have to ignore the calls of desperation for the nico
Your chest probably hurts because you now have bronchititis aggravated by smoking.
The smoking probably masked the problem and you are only just now noticing it as you are looking for all those horrible symptoms everyone told you that you would experience when stopping smoking.
Your bronchi or lung pockets are inflammed and probably irritated from the nicotine that you have loaded up in your lungs over the years.
See a Dr who may want to give you a breathing test and prescribe an antibiotic.
I commend you on quitting cold turkey. I quit with the use of nicotine gum and that lasted 46 days. I restarted and made 30 days and started again. Today I am planning on quitting again,using up all of the nicotine gum that I have and finishing the process cold turkey because I have been told for years that this is the ONLY way to quit smoking.
The addiction to nicotine is comparable to the addiction of heroine and is a hard one to shake. . . .Hang tough and know that every day you have not smoking you have gained ground in beating the addiction.
Any chest pain should be talked about with a doctor.
You-re going to go through a period of withdrawal that will be very difficult. Stick with it and your symptoms should subside.
I-d recommend some deep breathing exercises to get your lungs into shape.
For example, take in mini puffs of air through your nose and count how many you can hold until your lungs are full, then let it out in mini puffs through your mouth, trying to DOUBLE the puffs out than in, but going until your lungs are almost completely empty (you should feel a sort of -squeeze- when they-re almost empty).
There are lots of books on deep breathing exercises, including one called Boost Your Metabolism which is great for lung exercises.
And... GOOD FOR YOU! Quitting smoking is a smart choice. Stick with it!

It will get worse before it gets better. Stick with it. Soon you will be feeling better.
Your body immediately starts healing after that last smoke. You will eventually feel better than you ever have in the last four years.
Stay hydrated! Try hard candies to keep your saliva glands working. As for the sore chest, there isn-t alot you can do for that. You could try a herbal expectorant, that will help your body let go of all the tar and junk you put in your lungs.
GOOD FOR YOU FOR QUITING!!! Thought I would add that :)
