Wazz, its starting....You're starting to feel the wonderful effects of the quit! Take a look in the mirror too. I bet you see clearer brighter skin, and more color in your face! Keep taking those deep breaths, your lungs are starting to thank you for quitting! You are healing, isn't it great? :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/5/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 253 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 6,325 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2,669.15 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 30 [B]Hrs:[/B] 22 [B]Mins:[/B] 53 [B]Seconds:[/B] 0

Sometimes when I am outside I take really deep breaths. I imagine cleaning out my lungs with the fresh air they are so thirsty for! It is amazing how good a really deep breath feels. Here is a pic for you just incase you don't see it on another thread.

Wazz, It may be your body' way of increasing it's oxygen consumption or ridding itself of excess carbon monoxide. If symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your MD. Danielle, Bilingual Support Specialist

I have noticed since last night I am taking alot of deep breaths. Not breathing heavy just constantly wanting a deep breath. Today is no different. I just keep seem to get enough deep breaths. Feels great but is this normal. I want a deep breath maybe twice in a day in the past now I cant seem to get enough. Any help would be great.. thx [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]11/2/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 11 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 242 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $65.34 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 16 [B]Mins:[/B] 41 [B]Seconds:[/B] 3
