So 17 days ago i quit smoking cold turkey. Ive been feeling great. Ive been running everyday about 3.1 miles for 45 mintues. But then yesterday happened. I ran around 8 am. Then i took my son to an amusement park, we got there at noon. After 3 to 4 hours of walking around i started to cough a little. It felt like a tingle in my throat but my lungs hurt when coughed.

Its normal for coughing when ur a smoker, and i read that when u quit smoking u might have a cough due to ur lungs changing.

Thinking nothing of it. I continued to ride roller coasters and laugh with my son. Around 7pm i bought dayquil there, my coughing got a ton worse. When the parked closed at 9 we left. By the time i got home around 11. I couldnt breathe at all. My fiancé was home and i kissed my son goodnight and left to the emergency room.

Come to find out i was having a severe asthma attack. They shot my leg full of steriods. And placed me on predisone and an inhaler.

Ive been feeling aweful because there reason why i quit because i found out i have high blood pressure and havent had the time to go to the doctors. And these steriods are causing my heart to beat out of my chest. Im going to call my doctor in the am to try to schedule myself in.

And another thing my fiancé is all pissed at me because i didnt go to the hospital sooner and im not feeling well. I lost my voice completely and hes all mad at me. Im crying at the kitchen table after dinner cause i feel so horrible hes sitting on the couch right next to me ignoring me.

I cant believe that i quit smoking and started excersing and it placed me in the hospital.

If any one has advice please be nice and share.

Im heading back to work today... idk how im gonna do it. I have to be on my feet running from room to room all day.
