I have recently given up smoking and now seem to be experiencing some trouble br!


Question: I gave up smoking 2 weeks ago and now find it hard to breathe deeply enough to feel my lungs fill completely. It's a hard sensation to describe but is starting to worry me.

Has anyone else experienced a similar feeling? and if they have, is it normal?

Yes...your lungs are actually going through a "healing" process. Within the next week or so you will probably be doing some god awful coughing. Your lungs are going to try to get rid of all that yuck that is built up in there. If you just recently quit smoking though, I am wondering if you done this BECAUSE you were having some problems. Regardless, you should probably check in with the doctor to make sure everything is still okay. Whatever you do, don't start smoking again though.

See a doctor and he will have your lungs x-rayed, if he finds something unusaul in your breathing, when he uses his stethoscope on your chest.

yeah I am with Corona to. Your lungs prob haven't had fresh air in a long while! LOL!!

Best of luck and Congratulations!!
