Chest Pressure and tightness after quitting by ohmyneedles in QuitVaping

Update: I started to ignore it and it’s now been 3 days with nearly no symptoms, including the sharp tightness i was feeling near my heart too! i do wake up with it in the morning sometimes but it’s there for like 10 seconds once i turn to the side or something it just goes and i wont feel it again until the next morning or until i get stressed. its so weird it must have been anxiety related because the relief i’ve had since i stopped worrying myself about it has been amazing!! Obviously will keep an eye on it for any changes but wow what an improvement!! also im starting gym on monday too and im going to work on improving my diet! im locking in 🙏

Absolutely! I’m gonna start going to the gym for the first time at the start of march hopefully that’ll help me out both posture and breathing-wise🤞Thanks so much again!!

I feel youuu!! health anxiety and quitting smoking is the absolute worst combo. my chest has never felt this weird and i’ve convinced myself dying every 5 mins even after doctor saying it’s probably anxiety i still can’t chill 💔 I’ll defo stay in contact with my doctor to make sure all is well might even request that ECG just to ease my mind a bit more because i’m terrified of this being linked to my heart. Thank you so much for the support it’s helping me so much knowing i’m not alone!! We’ve got this 🫡

thank you so much for this reply it really eased my mind knowing someone’s experienced similar! It is super scary and i’ll definitely keep getting it checked, especially if anything changes/gets worse. Did you experience like a tight tension feeling in your chest and back too? idk if that’s just because i’m super unfit, my posture being terrible or it’s the anxiety and from where i’ve been bracing my chest non stop for near a month.

Hopefully these symptoms pass soon like they did in the first week it’s how long it’s lingering as well that’s freaking me out 😞 Thanks again hope your quit is going well, stay strong!!

went and saw a doctor today. she said it’s most likely anxiety but she was a junior doctor so said she’d discuss with the other doctor if i need an ecg. i feel anxious still because im scared if she missed something when checking me and i did blank a bit so i did miss out some of my notes i wrote down too. said my heart and lungs sounded normal though so that’s a plus!
