Hi! Not sure if this is the right place to post my question, but here goes. I quit smoking 11 days ago cold turkey. Smoked about 15 cigarettes a day. Just decided I was finished, not getting any younger (I'm 55) and wanted to give myself a birthday present for my 55th birthday.
I'm doing great as far as not wanting a cigarette. My problem is I feel completely drained. I know your body is going through alot of changes after you quit, but I didn't expect to feel this tired. I checked my blood pressure when I was feeling really bad and it was 86/48 with a pulse of 56. My normal blood pressure when I was smoking was 120/70 with a pulse of 75-90bpm. I can't stand not having any energy to do things. I quit to feel better not to feel like this. Is this low blood pressure/ pulse normal after you quit smoking, or should I see a doctor to see if something else is going on.
Anything I can do in the meantime when my pressure is low, so I don't feel so bad. Should I be taking any extra vitamins to help in the healing process? Thanks Gail
