Constant lightheadedness after quitting

Just curious if you are still dealing with light headed ness? I quit cold turkey 9 days ago and have been experiencing lightheaded ness quite frequently and also have realized that during these episodes my heart rate has dropped down in the low 50’s and sometimes into the 40’s. Was wondering if anybody else had experienced this and if so, how long does this last?

Day #9 smoke free

I have attempted to quit multiple times in the past and failed! This time has been so different! I quit cold turkey! I’m assuming what I am feeling is my body heeling but I don’t ever remember having these symptoms before! I have slight chest discomfort, occasionally, I get lightheaded and I have noticed my heart rate drops all the way down in the low 50’s! Today, day 9, I woke up with a slight sore throat on the right side and tender to touch. Is this normal during this difficult time? I can tell you that I will not give in! I am a non smoker and just pray that the way I am feeling will get better with time!
