QUIT SMOKING SYMPTOMS
It’s all over in two weeks!!!
You do NOT have to suffer them!!!
Nicotine is one of the most addictive substances known to man, it enters your system very fast and keeps you as an addict.
A list of the most common withdrawal symptoms you may experience . . .
* Headaches
* Insomnia
* Depression
* Coughing
* Feeling tired
* Weight gain
* Tightness in your chest
* Cravings for a cigarette
After just one cigarette the Nicotine acts on your central nervous system, your brain and other parts of your body. It actually stimulates your system even though you may feel relaxed BUT the only way to stay relaxed is to keep smoking. As the Nicotine wears off you need to re-stimulate your body.
The cravings and withdrawal symptoms when you quit smoking are common, it’s the way your body when it doesn’t get its fix. You may experience the symptoms over a two week period. You may also feel them come and go over the first few days.
Cravings usually last only 3–5 minutes, within a few weeks these will pass.
PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS may also be: tingling in your hands and feet, sweating, headaches, cramps, sore throats and coughing - this will happen as your lungs begin to clear.
COUGHING: this is caused as your body starts to detox, drink plenty of water, fluids, orange juice.
INSOMNIA: you may experience dreams as the Nicotine that affects your brain wave function. These can last a week, try relaxing at night time with a glass of warm milk plus do some deep breathing.
WEIGHT GAIN: your craving for a cigarette can be confused with hunger pangs, your mouth has been used to oral stimulation (cigarettes). Again drink plenty of fluids, snack on low fat bars or keep some raw carrot and celery strips in the fridge.
HEADACHES: take a hot shower, try to meditate and cut down on your coffee and cola intake.
CRAVINGS FOR THAT CIGARETTE: Nicotine is a strong addictive drug, the withdrawal will be noticeable for the first 2–3 days, wait them out – they usually only last 2–4 minutes.
MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL SYMPTOMS when you QUIT!!!
Some of the feelings you may experience; insomnia, mental confusion, vagueness, anxiety, irritability, bad temper BUT depression is the most common in the short term.
FATIGUE: remember Nicotine is a stimulant, try and get some extra sleep and do some walking. Don’t overdo it but try to be a bit more active. Drink 6–8 glasses of water per day, this will speed up your detox and quit smoking symptoms.
