A member asked:
Quit smoking 6 days ago and my pulse is anywhere from 55 to 70 bpm from being 80 to 100 bpm is this normal to slow down from quitting smoking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nicotine withdrawal: Nicotine is a potent stimulant which increases heart rate. Quitting smoking lets your body get rid of nicotine so heart rate and pulse will revert to whatever is normal for you. Stay with it and see your doctor for any concerns. See: http://www.lung.org/stop-smoking/i-want-to-quit/benefits-of-quitting.html Best wishes.
