'Crazy' I've been going through a lot! I was admitted into the hospital and went to two different hospitals to find out I also have an issue with my lungs line swelling because of fluids it rubs the inside wall of my chest besides quitting tobacco! I've had seizure like symptoms and I've also had problems of anxiety! it all started when I blacked out my wife said and ask what was wrong with me I could not respond or did not reply for 10 minutes. I woke up with the shower curtains on top of me in the shower stall. I went to the hospital they found nothing and dismiss me. I was told to go to the doctor the next day I went to the doctors office the next day the same thing happened to the doctors office they admitted me to the hospital. for the next week they found nothing wrong with me I did multiple tests maybe 10 or 15 tests they found nothing I was dismissed. after feeling very horrible for the next weeks 2 weeks exactly I found out that the tobacco had nothing to do with it I had another problem, the tobacco I've been dipping for 15 years has been hiding a sickness I've had with my lungs. I still to this day a whole month after I quit have no idea what is exactly wrong with me the doctors don't even know exactly what's wrong with me I think that tobacco has a lot to do with it though. I constantly have a burning and cooling sensation in the left side of my chest my left arm often goes numb as well as my leg I'm not exactly sure how to feel or how I should feel since I haven't dipped for this long. I'm sorry I didn't know how to do the introduction thing for the site I like all of you guys testimony though!
Wow man, you got a lot going on there.
First of all congrats on being quit. Even if the dip is not directly causing your illness , it absolutely isn't helping it that's for sure!
Check out our Welcome Center, it explains about what KTC is and how stay quit here. You'll want to check the section about posting roll next, then head over to the Jan '14 group. That is the group you'll post roll with everyday.
Proud to quit with you today.
Stay quit first. I assure you that sneaking another hit of nicotine will bring no relief. I cant offer a medical diagnosis and that shouldnt surprise you. Your doctors cant either. Any ideas why?
Removing nicotine from your "normal" day to day life will fuck with you in ways that are still surprising us all. Look around this place and you will see testimonies of guys going to the ER for heart attacks, -twice- in the first 100 days quit. That is the depth this addiction can go.
Since you mentioned anxiety, i feel you might be starting to figure out whats going on. That shit is for real and paralyzing. I spent days on the couch, curled in a little ball. Worry and fear were all i could think about. I thought the world around me was colapsing. Outside it was a sunny fall day.
I will pm my number. Stay vigilant and you will get through this.
Grizzfall.
