Hi Ad,
 Yes, these are all side effects of quitting smoking.  They should clear up in awhile. If you are really concerned about them though, I'd suggest you go see your doctor. Congratulations on quitting smoking! 
There is more information here in the forums about the changes your body is going through since quitting smoking. If you have the time you may want to read through these forums and learn about them.
Once again, congratulations on quitting!
Stay strong.
