As long as you are following your doctor's advice you should be fine generally. Go back and bother him/her if the fluid retention continues.
My own experience was that many doctors do not always know the myriad of symptoms which come along with a quit...............how could they as there are so many, and different ones affect different folk, also if they have not quit themselves they cannot understand all the symptoms.
Do try herbal remedies and other suggestions, as you may find a solution. Whatever you do.........DO NOT SMOKE! The symptoms may take time to go away, but, in the meantime bite the bullet and soldier on.
Stay Strong! Love Lolly.

As you know, I have developed cancer since my quit 6 years ago! I am 62 on Sunday, and it's a good possibility I may not see my 70th birthday. I stay as positive as ever and determined to fight this disease!
My tumour, which was beside, but not in my lung and, according to the doctors, was not smoking-related, involved radiotherapy treatment. This has burned away a good part of my left lung, and has left me breathless. My pneumonologist explained that my right lung cannot compensate very well because I had smoked for so many years! I am not on oxygen yet, but it may happen.
As Lizzie says, "Quit while you are ahead!" The younger you quit the bettter! No matter what age you are, you are not immune to smoking diseases, nor are you immortal!!!
Lolly.

I'll be with you all the way! Do join up with the other new quitters, (even though you've been there before,) it does help to have someone in the same boat as you.
Love Lolly.
Whatever it takes, just don't smoke!!!
