Guest guest Posted June 4, 2003 Report Posted June 4, 2003 Ok... Good Day to anyone reading this, I hope everyone is doing well today. As most of you know, I am pregnant. I was having the most horrendous nausea...I mean really bad from about 2pm until I went to sleep for the night. I remembered with my first that smoking made me really sick so I stopped...but, it was fairly easy because I had only began smoking just a little while before I got pregnant the first time. So, I decided to try and quit this time to see, AND I KNOW IT'S BAD TO SMOKE, MUCH MORE SO WHILE PREGNANT. Well, yesterday I only smoked two cigarettes...did just fine until a neighbor (also my landlady) came over to see how I was and she lit one up right in my house with me telling her I was trying to quit... Anyhow, I have only had two today but my problem is this...the left side of my chest hurts. It's a constant pain right over my heart. If I take three draws of a cigarette the pain lessens. Is there something in cigarettes that my heart has learned to depend on? Is there anything that a pregnant woman can take for these side effects? I have the chest pain, it's not like a tightening that my husband talks about when he quits. It's just a heart ache, really, I'm not kidding. I also have this rush of impatience when ever I go to do something that involves waiting or concentration. Like when I am doing paperwork, waiting for a page to load, etc. The feeling I get is hard to describe but I'd really like to destroy something when I get it. I've tried breathing exercises, I've tried mind control (You don't really want one, it's so disgusting and nasty....I don't really need that to function, I can do this without a cigarette, etc.) Help!!!! It must have been the cigarettes making me so sick, yesterday I didn't have the nausea and so far not today...but, I really need some help on this chest pain. It's worse than the panic sensation's I get, if that's what they are, maybe withdrawals...I dunno. Anybody got any ideas? Thanks so much for any help AND I'M BEGGING YOU, PLEASE DON'T SAY I NEED TO TOUGH IT OUT.
