Yes: You might try a lower dose patch but if your heart is racing you are getting more nicotine than you were while smoking so you have too strong of a patch right now. You might also try using the gum instead (easier to control the dose & frequesncy) or talk to your md or dentist for a prescription med to try. Either way, congratulations on making a choice for better health!
