I do not feel well! I have a throbbing headache, a stuffy nose, a wheezing chest and a sore neck.  With the exception of the sore neck, I’m blaming smoking although I am concerned that my chest is tight now – two weeks after quitting.  I woke up this morning and I could heat the wheezy rattling of my chest before I opened my eyes.  Its scares me to death and it just smacks of COPD, chest infections and asthma.  I really do worry that I have caused irreparable damage to my lungs and that I will never breathe well again.  
I have a doctor’s appointment this evening and I will be taking a list – my breathing being one of the things on the list although I’m sure she will be pleased that I have quit smoking.  Should I still be wheezing?  How long does it take before your lungs clear and you can breathe again?  I do suspect that my boyfriend may have been smoking in the room while I slept last night – we have talked about it and usually he goes outside but he’d been out for a drink last night and the alcohol may have made him forget – he’s not deliberately selfish but can be a little thoughtless.  
I’m at work today – my computer screen is not really helping ,y headache but there is so much to do that I can’t take a day off.  I have panel meetings to organise and events to plan and assistants to manage.  I do enjoy my job, as I’ve said before, but sometime I need a rest and after a relatively busy weekend I feel like I need some more sleep, especially when I don’t feel well.
I do remember from last time I quit that I found that I didn’t feel that well for a while – I wonder what I have done to my body and my immune system.  I’d really like to feel better and I want to start to be healthier but I’d like to feel it too.  I’m trying so hard, trying to eat better, not smoke and to exercise.  I feel like I deserve it! Although after abusing my body and my health for so many years I assume and guess that it may take a while for me to really feel the health benefits.  How long did it take you to really feel well?  Does anyone have any advice for starting to feel better more quickly?  Is the wheezing normal?
