I have been to the Doc once. Just trying to wait it all out and see what goes away. I have had a sore throat since I quit, just do not feel right. I tell you what feeling like crap sure is keeping me from smoking!!!! Just hang in there use this site for info and support. If you do need to see your Doc make an appt. My doc was soooo happy to help me. I am gaining lbs too...just being patient with myself and taking one thing at a time. I am giving myself a month of eating whatever then I will worry about the weight gain. Be patient and kind to yourself, your going through alot of changes!!!

I have had some strange medical problems since I quit, feet swelling, lost voice at times, hard time swalling food at times, and the weight oh my goodness. Has anyone else had medical problems like this? It happened the last time I quit also.

KayH just wanted to say hi, I was on the patch, just got off it so I guess it's different, I've had very few symptoms aside the usual ordinary ones. One of my biggest symptoms was crying LOL Well I hope you feel better, maybe a visit to your Md would be in order.

KayH, Keep working with your doctor. Weight gain after you quit is normal as your metabolism slows and your body is now better absorbing the nutrients your ingesting. Starting an exercise regiment may help keep your waistline in check. It's also great to help ward off other withdrawal symptoms such as feeling blue, sleeping disturbances and anxiety. Hope this helps. Danielle ____________________________ The SSC Support Team

Kay I had a lot of throat and breathing issues at the beginning and they were a bronchial infection. I struggle with the weight all the time, I would hve done most likely with or without smoking. The effect and side effects of quitting are very different for everyone. If something is going on for longer than you are comfortable with or you are worried about anything, go a see your doctor.
