paranoid,
I'm wishing I would couph up more of that junk. I cough up some each morning also but I feel better after I have done so. Im still a little early in my quit and im still feeling a little tightness in my chest. I don't think its a bad thing to be getting rid of that junk.

I am about a month cig free...and am starting to develop a bad morning cough combined with flecks in the production of my mucus. I know it's gross. Sorry, but it is questionable. I had an X-ray, Cat-Scan and did some breathing tests. The only one that wasn't completley perfect was the latter, and I know it's just the cillia (sp?) recovering, but with this bad allergy season on top of everything, I do sometimes get short of breath in the AM. Anyone else experience something similar? Also, I got off the nicorette 3 weeks ago and am FINALLY feeling semi-normal again. Just wanted to see if anyone felt or experienced the same things...

Paranoid,
Yeah, a lot of people experience a gross cough when quitting. You're right that it's the celia healing. I think you should talk to your doctor if you're worried about it. I hope it doesn't last much longer for you.
Crave the Quit!

PAD Except for caughing up a lot of crud I went though the same thing as you did. Had a complete cardio check up with chest xrays, cat scan and breathing tests. I passed all three with flying colors after smoking for 58 years. I do experience heaver breathing when there is a high pollen count coupled with high humidity. Other than that every thing is ok. Casey gave you some great advise. Keep posting and let us know how you are doing.
