Gaining Weight After Quitting Smoking, Diarrhea, Head Feels Puffy, Feeling Tired.Cure For Symptoms?
I gave up smoking in December 3rd after my mother died, I'm 37 yrs old and work in the building industry, I have gained weight as a result of not smoking from 13st to around 15st 5lb. I've recently had diahrea for around 9 days but my sample came back as no further action. I feel tired all the time and my head seems puffy, I know my own body and I just don't feel my self.
