A member asked:
Quit smoking 2 weeks ago cold turkey. after 26 yrs. the last few days i have body aches and can't take deep breaths. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: This should not be due to discontinuation of smoking. Strongly suggest you see a doctor. Difficulty breathing requires a rapid explanation because of its potential for suddenly becoming worse and life-threatening. Good luck.
