I have been smoking a lot and its causing my asthma to act and that's causing my heart to race. I am tired and just want to feel better. Sorry I have posted so much today but it has been a rough day. Stay well my friends.

:( This can be a vicious cycle...

...stress triggers the urge to smoke...but then this often makes you feel worse...

Trying to find a distracting alternative to grabbing your pack of smokes would be a good goal.

I hope that you can get some good rest tonight and feel much better tommorow!

If you can take it benadryl will help keep your sinus's clear and that will help you rest.

Thank you S.C and Larry. I have been able to cut back some and I feel better that I have done that. I don't take benadryl Larry because I am on 2 allergy pills already. I just need to stop smoking so much and make myself do stuff. So I will continue to post and keep updates coming. I have been coping fairly well today and will only get better from here.

Tough thing to do - but you can do it.  I am going to post a link to a quit smoking forum as we do not have one on HealingWell.

My husband tried going cold turkey once and he had anxiety and a full blown panic attack so he saw his Dr. and start on a medication which decreased the anxiety and got him through the first couple of weeks.

I wish you the best.
