A member asked:

Severe chest and neck pain. is this related to giving up smoking?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: I hope not because we wouldn't want to discourage anyone from smoking cessation ;-) unless you just quit smoking and are coughing a lot, which does happen at first, then these symptoms are not likely to be related to your giving up smoking. If no better after self care for a couple weeks time then see your doctor. If you are coughing a lot then it could be due to that.
