I was so sure that smoking helped me to relax that I was not even remotely interested in hearing that it CAUSED stress but I certainly am aware of it now.
My husband complained of heartburn for months and months...turned out, in his case, it was his heart. I told him and his primary care doc that I did not think it was heartburn....
Only 26 days out but when I think about it , when I smoked , especially the days I smoked a lot I felt stressed and anxious because I felt nauseous and frequently had heartburn from smoking so much.
Feeling sick to my stomach and having heartburn caused more stress and anxiety .....
i was like a hamster on a wheel .
So grateful I’ll never smoke again !
