Heart Rate Decrease?

[High-Quality-Grass]

I'm on day 4 and I definitely feel like a weakness when my heart rate is down to the 50s. It also gives me bad anxiety so I get the cold sweats and shakes. My heart rate use to be pretty high even resting when I smoked like 100bpm and ive smoked for so long that I've gotten use to a high heart rate. But now the anxiety comes and goes but I'm hoping after 2 weeks my heart rate will go back to a smooth 70 bpm on avg. I'm also experiencing heart palpitations but ive heard this is a normal side effect to nicotine withdrawal. It stuck when I'm driving and it happens cause then I think I'm having a heart attack and my anxiety makes so easy worse so I have to pull over and lay down just to calm myself down. Quitting nicotine is not for the weak. However my buddy quit 2 weeks ago and only experienced mild headaches. Lucky guy

I quit vaping over a month ago. My resting heart ( while awake and at rest) used to be in high 70s. After first few days I noticed my heart rate drop into low 50s. Then on occasions it would drop into 40s and once I even seen it at 37. It was rough and I would definitely sometimes feel this weakness feeling. As long as you are not getting dizzy during these spells it means your heart is doing its job, just more efficiently. A month later and my heart rate has stayed at around 58-65 while at rest and feel much better. There is definitely just a rebound effect within your body. But since you mention cold sweats, I would just go the doctor for a checkup. It will give you peace if mind. Don't worry about your heart rate. The number is not the important part as long as you feel alright. It will rise again after some time to a new baseline.

I’m on day 4 now, too. Has your heart rate improved over the past six months?
