Thanks @DenaliBlues I haven't had it back since and at least I now know it's all part of the recovery! I guess I just panicked as it's something I never had before. Oh yes, my sleep pattern is all over the place. I'm still drinking coffee and will resist decaf at all costs!

I'm so sorry that you are going through this @SD2026. I'm glad the symptoms have eased up - it sounds very unnerving! I'm no medical expert (so please consult a doctor if you're still concerned). But I can affirm anecdotally that some bodies do wackadoodle things as they recalibrate to post-nicotine life. Sleep might get disrupted, digestion might be different, congestion could worsen, and some folks also report feeling quite anxious. For me, a big surprise early in my own quit was how sensitive I became to caffeine once I had no more nicotine in my system. Never a dull moment! Your mileage may vary, of course. But things DO settle down eventually. (I'm still drinking decaf though - LOL.) Hang in there!

SD2026 started following A scary withdrawal symptom Day 9

I've been doing ok overall, better than what I was expecting. I still think about smoking but they are just fleeting thoughts. I was feeling a bit dizzy and disorientated but shrugged it off. I then had chest tightness on and off for a few hours. I didn't give it too much thought until the tightness felt worse. Unfortunately I started to panic which didn't help! Luckily I was talked down and now know it is just part of the withdrawal. I don't think I've ever experienced that before. Funny thing is, when I was smoking I didn't get chest pain. The body healing is something else! I just thought I'd share in case anyone new is going through the same thing.
