Back to work


18 years ago 0 10 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
I quit during a chest infection so have been off work for almost 3 weeks. I went back today but it was extremely difficult and I only stayed for a couple of hours. When I left this morning I could hardly get out the door because of anxiety and fatigue and this remained during my brief spell back at work. My boss is very understanding and wants me to quit, I only hope that these symptoms dont last too long.

Matty, 15 days and so determined! Welcome to the support community and now that we can help you through this. Your stats are great and know this won't go on forever, it will dwindle. Your symptoms will be unique, so make note of them and contact your doctor if they last longer than expected. You may also find it difficult to sleep as long as you used to. Two things can cause this are: As a smoker your sleep may have been interrupted by constant coughing and/or difficulty breathing. When you stop smoking, your body gets healthier and the sleep you get is more restful. So if you wake up suddenly at 5:00 a.m., you may think you are a victim of insomnia. You're probably not! Your body has probably had all the sleep it needs. Smoking drains your body's energy. When you quit smoking you regain this energy. You may need fewer hours of sleep. Take the time to let us know if we can help, Keep Strong, Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.
