Physical symptoms: post being beaten up. Please continue to be monitored by your doctor so no additional symptoms develop. Yes, it would be excellent to stop smoking. Not only will it help w/your present recovery but it will lower your chances of illness later in life. Your body and brain need oxygen more than ever now and smoking inhibits the intake of oxygen. Peace and good health.
