I know that wasn't your initial problem, but increased chest pain after stopping I don't think is that uncommon.

Well I've gone longer than this without smoking many times before but I did also initially think that the anxiety worsening might be caused by withdrawal symptoms, however, that little episode I had on Thursday felt way too intense and real for it to just be anxiety.
I really hope it is though. That would be awesome. It's a very weird situation as I don't have a cough or anything that would suggest it was my lungs. My breathing is normal. Doctor ruled out my heart and hopefully that will be officially scratched off the list after tomorrows tests. The medication for my esophagus doesn't seem to be working yet.
I really, really, REALLY, hope it's all in my head.
