Quitting Smoking - quitting smoking


Expert: Dr. Gitanjali Sharma ( www.FamilyMarriageCounselling.com) - 8/20/2009

Question
QUESTION: I too quit smoking two months ago.  Am feeling much better however i'm feeling very congested in the chest.  How long does the chest congestion last.  I smoked about 2 years.  Any suggestions would be helpful.

ANSWER: Dear Cathy,  two months ago you have already quit. Chest pain never happens because of quitting. Quitting Smoking rather removes the congestion & makes you free. It must be something else. You may see a Doc if you still feel the congestion.

regards

QUESTION: It's not chest pain.  It's chest congestion.

Answer
Yes, right Cathy as I suggested earlier ""It must be something else. You may see a Doc if you still feel the congestion."""

Cathy are you doing some deep breathing or yoga exercises which involves pressure on chest.
In either scenario I would request you see a Doctor if you are still feeling the chest congestion. Chest congestion is not due to quitting smoking, rather quitting opens up new space for fresh air.  This is a physical problem you are facing which is best suited for a visit to doctor.

Walk in fresh environment should heel any rest of the congestion after you have consulted with a local doc.
