Hi Bope, welcome to the Quit Train and congratulations on your one month smoke free! Some people feel great when they quit smoking, some feel bad, and some notice no difference. I did't notice a difference myself but I have always been a pretty active person. I did find out later that smoking caused blood circulation problems for me but I never experienced problems due to it. At a regular checkup, a doctor commented that he thought I may have Raynaud's Syndrome because the tips of a couple of my fingers were bright red. He couldn't see my bright red toes that had been that way for decades. All my fingers and toes became normal looking when I quit smoking. We all know that smoking is bad for us and even if we don't notice problems, real bad things could be happening in our bodies without our knowledge. Regarding acid reflux, I tend to get it when I consume carbs, especially if I eat them close to bed time. I mostly follow a low carb diet and when I stick with the program, I feel great. Your postnasal drip could be due to allergies which can surface at any time in your life. So, if I were you, I would stay away from nicotine. After a month, you have cleared it from your system and there is no need to reintroduce it! Maybe see if you can get yourself feeling better by tinkering with your diet. We're all unique and different things work for different people. I hope you feel better soon!
