Does quitting smoking bring on sleep apnea? I had this problem when I had surgery in July, but it faded away. Now it seems I wake up all of the time needing to breathe.
It also happens in the daytime when I am engrossed with something. All of a sudden, I feel like I forgot to take a breath.
Is this in any way a normal response of quitting?

Hi, 4my2girls. Congratulations on 9 days quit. That's awesome. :)
I've heard of people sleeping too much or not enough, but I've never heard of this particular symptom. You might want to check with your doctor just to be on the safe side. Sometimes smoking masks other things.

4mygirls,
Your symptoms will be unique and different from other members. Make sure that you check with your doctor to rule out anything medical, if it persists.
Keep Strong,
Josie
