Is sweating a symptom when you quit smoking? -
i have quit smoking !!!...6 days now...yea!!!.. i find that i am sweating alot..is this normal??
Yes it can be a symptom.
Nicotine withdrawal leads to a state of anxiety which can include sweating and rapid heart rate. When you were a smoker, the relaxing feeling you got from a cigarette occured not because nicotine is a relaxant, but because it was relieving the withdrawal symptoms you were starting to get after your last cigarette wore off.
6 days is early and the physical withdrawal symptoms probably won-t get any worse then they are now. They will lessen over time. Then you-ll have to fight the psychological urges - especially those times of day or activities where you used to light up, like over a cup of coffee or a drink at a bar or whatever.
Good luck on quitting. I quit 18 years ago and am glad I did. My only advice is that if you fall off the wagon and have a cigarette, or a pack of cigarettes, don-t think you-re a smoker again. Just stop again and keep on going with your quitting. I would occasionally break down and buy a pack. I-d smoke 4 or 5, find they weren-t really making me feel good and throw the rest away. Maybe a few months later it would happen again, but each time the cigarettes tasted worse and worse. Just keep going.
You won-t regret it and think of how much money you are saving! Buy yourself a nice present with that money!
