  3. Hang in there @Brioski. Quitting is emotionally and physically discombobulating. But like you said, protecting your quit means you have stepped OFF that merry go round of regret, and that’s huge!! Keep advocating for the medical help you need. We’re here for you.

  5. Yes it got better but I had done so much damage to my lungs before I quit that in January of 2020 I caught something viral that caused respiratory failure. Since there was no test for covid at that time and it was barely making it's way around we kinda think that may have been it. Anyway, the pulmonologist at the hospital said I was severe emphysema and sent me home on oxygen. Been on it 24/7 since. Sadly I had been to my pulmonologist a week before this happened and had been complaining that I couldn't get a deep breath and he gave me a five day prescription of Azythromicin. Had he given prednisone along with it I would maybe not had lung failure but we'll never know now That doesn't mean that's what it is with you so keep positive and keep your quit!

  6. Hi brioski, my shortness of breath started around the one month mark and lasted a few weeks. Your Dr should be able to prescribe a rescue inhaler if you don't already have one. I believe you posted that you were in the hospital with breathing issues last year that caused your partner to quit smoking? I'd maybe talk to your Dr about seeing a pulmonologist if your heart checks out fine. Better safe than sorry. Keep us posted, we care....

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
