slight chest tightness after quitting e-cig/vaping ?

[jayj]

Hello everyone greetings from the Philippines! first of all I'd like to apologize for my English and I don't know if this is the right section to post this.

Anyway I read somewhere that nicotine withdrawal includes slight chest tightness but most of them is because of cigarettes I think. Or is it the same with E-Cig/Vapes ?

I quit vaping for 4 days now and been experiencing some drowsiness and some chest tightness. If so how long this chest tightness normally last?

Anyway its been almost a year since I quit cigarettes (11 months) and transitioned to e-cigarette with no problem.

so I guess my questions are: is it normal to have chest tightness when you quit e-cig and how long does it normally last?

Why I quit?

Why I quit was because of my hypertension and decided to change some of lifestyle. I recently lost someone I know but not really a close friend but just an acquaintance due to heart attack and he is just 29 years old. It kinda served as a wake up call for me. the guy is relatively healthy and active. he just dropped dead one afternoon.

I think it would depend on how many mili grams of nicotine you were vaping when you quit. You may want to consider tapering down the nicotine until you get to 0mg nic and then vape that for a couple of weeks. If you've already done that, then I think you should see your doctor as it has nothing to do with your having quit vaping. There's no reason for it.

I hope you feel better soon.

i was using 24mg and one night I just decided to stop vaping (Wednesday night)

I did see a doctor last week (before this chest tightening happened) coz I was experiencing heart palpitations. I had ECG and 2D Echo done + some blood test. they said my heart was fine. I dunno it could be anxiety/panic attacks.

never felt this before. I mean this is the first time i had anxiety problems.
