Working on it..

I never really thought of my words as beautiful before. I was afraid I might responding in a blunt and brutal way.

There really isn't anything beautiful about smoking or what it does to our minds and bodies over time..So I just had to

say as I see it..Or a better way of putting is, say it as I feel it...I appreciate your support..

Thanks

Hello Paigelinsey,

Sorry I don't have a answer but I would see a doctor if this does not improve...I have had a lot of health problems since I quit smoking..They were probably there all along in my case I just didn't notice because I was too busy smoking like a chimney..I thought all my health problems were caused because I smoked and would go away when I quit. This may have been true if I had quit 2, 10, 20, or 43 years ago but there has been damage done..

I mean how could I not be in perfect condition now that I quit smoking..The fact is that some of the damage didn't go away immediately when I quit..It does takes time for the body to heal and this process doesn't happen overnight...I think we are all still healing in one way or another from this nasty smoking habit..It does get better in time they say.

Stay Quit..

There was something very beautiful about your words here, Roses. Maybe it's because I have seen what a struggle this has been for you. And I know how you have persevered. And I think that we all can heal in our own ways as long as we maintain a positive attitude like yours.

Hi PaigeLindsay,

It is common to experience withdrawal symptoms while quitting smoking. But willis is right ,any change in breathing should be assessed by health care professional.

Let us know what you find out.

hi Paigelinsey, Funny my neighbors have daughters named Paige and Linsey, small world. I would check things out with your Doctor for sure but in the first few weeks of quitting your body goes through so many changes it's hard to say what any one person will experience. But any noticeable change in your breathing should be checked out by your Physician.

I am just a member trying to quit smoking like you, and I have absolutely no training in medicine but quitting smoking is the best thing you can do to improve your health so I wish you good luck, PaigeLinsey.

So I've been smoke free almost a month. I've always been a bit active. I run outside when the weather is nice and I am a pretty active hot yoga participant. I've noticed since quitting smoking that when i run and do yoga that i am more out of breath than i was when i was still smoking.

does anyone know is this is something that will change itself??
