i stopped smoking why do I feel like this?

[gwen2002]

I use to smoke about 10 to 15 smokes a day. I stopped smoking April 18th of this year. Every since I quit smoking I find that my nose is plugged or either running.I could breathe better when I smoked why is this?

I felt like **** the first 4 months of my quit. I had 2 sinus infections, bronchitis and pleurisy!
I have not smoked for 8 months, 1 week and 2 days and I feel great! It took a while, but it is well worth it! Hang in there.......the worst is over : )

Congratulations on your quit Gwen, you should be very proud of yourself!
