Diesel's Intro Page

[Its_Got2Happen]

Im on day 9 of quit, but every morning I start off feeling like complete SHIT!  I get a good nights sleep but when I wake up I feel like I have smoked a pack of cigarettes or like somebody punched me in the chest, or almost like I have asthma or something.  I also have a pretty bad stomach ache.  I force myself to eat breakfast, drive my ass to work and feel like total shit til about noon.  Then the rest of the day I seem to feel pretty good, but that dull chest pain really never seems to go away.  It might lessen a little bit but it always seems to be there. (maybe a mental thing)

I guess what I am asking is if this is "normal"? have others experienced this? and just another thing I have to grind through? or maybe should I go to the doctor and see if something else is going on?  It's really pissing me off.

Yes. Go to the doctor and have it checked out.

I'd go get that one checked out. I had what felt like the flu that I fully believe to be nic related but never had dull pain. I'm not an expert but that sounds like one of the symptoms to heart related stuff.

Thanks guys. The bitch of all this is I was in the hospital for panic attacks which mask the symptoms of a heart troubles. They tested my heart every possible way and it was fine. Problem was when I got out of the hospital I kept thinking I was going to have more panic attacks and went back in. Again they tested my heart every which way til Sunday and it was fine. I think I'm still a bit nervous from the panic attack thing, plus quitting...it's just fucking my shit up. What a pain in the dick this all is. As if quitting wasn't enough I gotta deal with this panic attack bullshit. FML.

I have had panic attacks before.. well let me rephrase. I had a panic attack about 4 years ago. I was driving home from work late at night in the rain on a road in the middle of nowhere. Of course I had a chew in and all these stupid thoughts were running into my head about what would happen if i were to crash. I felt like I needed to take a deep breath and I couldn't quite get it. sooooo I pulled over and flipped the fuck out in my car. PUnching the windows and it felt like someone had a pillow over my face while sitting on my chest. I couldn't even leave my house for 3 days. Only reason I did was to go to doc. He said I was fine. I finally made it back to work and on the way home I was shaking and sweating and feeling like I was about to flip again. I stopped at e.r . got tested all good. they gave me ativan ( which I still have a script for) . It helps but I still always have that thought in the back of my head. What if it happens again... what if I can't get to a hospital... WHAT IF. Most days I am good and others I am not. I have been quit for 15 days and have noticed that I am having a lot more better days.

Not sure if this story helps any but it is my true story. I hope to continue to get better and you sir are in my thoughts and prayers as we both continue to fight the nic bitch and anxiety. Take it a day at a time brother! See you in the HOF

I had panic attacks quite often early in my quit. I had convinced myself I had every major disease there is and I would surely die at any moment. I like you had a tough time catching my breath, and all the other symptoms of anxiety. I went to the doctor so many times in my first 45 days or so that she finally told me to stop coming in. I had heart tests, lung tests, physicals, cancer screenings, you name it and I got tested for it.

I am now well into my quit and things are better. I still get the onset of a panic attack every now and then but I have learned to diffuse them. Some things I did to help early on: Work up a good sweat,walk, workout, whatever kills craves and anxiety. Meditate, it relaxes you and helps clear your mind. Instead of all the negative mind chatter replace it with positive thoughts.

Panic attacks can only happen when you create fear and doubt in your mind. Instead of wondering if or when the next attack may happen replace that thought with. I am done with panic attacks, my body is fine and I no longer fear them and I am free to enjoy life.

Keep fighting! It is worth it!!

STAY QUIT
