Mitri: There are a number of people here who have experienced panic attacks. I have and they can be quite frightening -- you honestly think you're having a heart attack.
PLEASE, please, please contact your doctor. You do not have to suffer these panic attacks without help, you know. There are excellent medications that can be of tremendous help, especially while you protect your quit. It doesn't mean you have to stay on meds forever, but I implore you to at least talk to the doctor and explore your options.
It may well go away on its own in time, but that's difficult to know for certain or to predict when that may be. Everyone is different.
Obviously, SMOKING is NOT an option, right? Congratulate yourself for your great quit and please be gentle with yourself right now. How are you rewarding yourself? That is SO very important, you know.
Please keep us posted, ok? We tend to be a group of worriers around these parts!
Keep the faith -- you CAN do this!
