Chain Smoking and Hacking A Lung Up

Thanks Casey. That is what I figured, but I wanted to hear it from you guys. At this point I don't think a doctor's visit is warranted. But if it gets worse, I will certaintly make an appointment. How long will it go on for approx.? If it lasts longer than how many day should I go to the doc's?

Last night I dreamed I was driving somewhere in a convertible, chain smoking. This morning I woke up feeling like I had been chain smoking the day before. For the last couple of days I have been coughing. The coughing has not really been a productive cough. And when I try to take a deep breath, I can't take that last part to breath in fully. My chest hurts. It makes me sad that I did this to myself.

LOL! ;p I am still having a hard time breathing all the way in. The cough is kinda there ... like an annoyance. It is not a hard cough. It is weird. And there is a little bit of pain in the middle of my chest, above my breasts. It is nothing horrible ... but I can feel an uncomfortable feeling. I am almost possitive it is because I quit. I will probably make a doc appt just to check it out.

That sounds like it may be bronchitis, BF. Not uncommon for quitters to get it because when we quit the body tends to overshoot on reducing mucus production leaving us a bit unprotected in that area. It's very temporary and easily treatable by your doctor, but it does need to be diagnosed by a doctor, which I am not. Hope you feel better soon.
