We Quit Cigarettes

[WannaBeHillBilly]

O shoot.
Can quitting raise your blood pressure?
Crap.

Nicotine is raising your blood pressure.
Getting too fast off can cause fainting though. That's why those nicotine patches were developed.

Do you know how when you're talking on the phone you don't really pay attention to what you're doing?

I was on the phone and I walked out into the garage sat in my normal spot...had my conversation, hung up and came back inside....and I didn't even realize I was out there.

But you didn't smoke... That's awesome!

And then there's leftover Monday...

What kind do you use?

I rotate with this and a Colgate one.
My dentist says I should only use toothpaste with stannous flouride in it.
So I read toothpaste labels too.

I'm telling y'all too much. People are going to think I'm a nutter.

My blood pressure is higher now than it's ever been.

My blood pressure is higher now than it's ever been.

That's because you are nervous and everything is new and …
Just calm down - but not too much.

What's the difference in the flourides?

I read ALL labels If it's got a label I've read it

I'd keep an eye on that, and contact your doctor if it is at the danger level. I never monitored mine while quitting so I do not know how my body reacted to withdrawal. That's where you are now - withdrawal, and your body is trying to readjust.
