Q: Heart Attack After Quitting Smoking.

Hi.

My father just had a small heart attack after he quit smoking about a month ago. A coworker told me that this is pretty common for people who have smoked their whole life and then quit. I was wondering, is there any truth to this?

quitting

I'd say this is true. It's probably the reason why when a lot of people including me quit smoking for a while we get left chest pains. Our body is used to having a smoke every now and then to relive stress, and without this powerful outlet in our lives our heart starts complaining about the added stress.

I'm sorry to hear the bad news. I'll put this information to good use by meditating as a stress outlet and maybe my left chest pains will go away.
