I quit 25 days ago. I’m an asthmatic with chronic bronchitis and am very scared of getting very sick if I get the Coronavirus. I quit out of fear. This is the most motivated I’ve ever been to give my lungs a fighting chance. This is where my problem comes in. My chest tightness is ridiculous. I feel winded walking up the stairs and I get dizzy often. Everything that I read about Covid-19 makes these things symptoms. But then again everything that I read about quitting smoking after 30+ years also makes these things symptoms. So I’m left confused and anxious. I also have anxiety which could also be causing these symptoms. Is anyone else feeling these things? Am I alone in this fresh hell?
I'm feeling the same. Terrified of getting the virus after having smoked for 20 years. Anxious about that and everything else, so the symptoms go round and round. Not smoking has to be better than smoking though no matter what else is going on.
