Anxiety issue?

[Joelle12]

Hello,

I am a 30 years old female. Been smoking for around 8 years and have some anxiety issues.I was put on a treatment of Seroxat 20mg for app. 8 months. Now am drug free for about 4 months. Lately i was experiencing shortness of breath, chest pain (like electric shocks) and pain in my heart every time a smoke a cigarette. I saw a cardiologist last week and had some tests done and he assured that its not a cardiovescular issue. Also i have some muscle twitching and burn sensation in my left leg every time am at rest.

Can someone help with this issue?

Thanks!!

Have no idea, but cigarette problems are usually pulmonary, as the smoke goes to your lungs.  You might see a pulmonary specialist just to see if there's lung damage.  If you keep smoking, of course, the chances of lung damage are almost a certainty, the only question is how bad they will be, what form (cancer, emphysema), and whether you die of something else before it gets to you.  My Dad died of a heart attack at age 80, but it was caused by lung problems due to cigarette smoking and the last years of his life were spent barely able to move without running out of breath.
