intense headaches, anyone?

[eccl12.13]

i've been trying to stop smoking for about a month and a half now and each time i get these really bad headaches. advil rarely eases the pain and i am finding it really difficult to keep up with my college studies as well as my work (i work outdoors and it is often hot and sunny).

i just wondered if anyone else gets bad headaches when they try to quit. my husband (who has smoked for a number of years and "quit" several times) swears by his experience that the headaches must have another cause than the nicotine. but i know it's directly related because if i smoke the headache goes away.

Hi, I found this on a google search, here's an excerpt:

Withdrawal symptoms usually occur within 24 hours of stopping smoking or reducing the number of cigarettes smoked per day. Symptoms can include irritability, headache, anxiety, or coughing. These symptoms are signs that the body is recovering from your smoking addiction. Some symptoms decrease sharply after the first few days.

Most symptoms end within two to four weeks.
You can get past the cravings by sipping water, breathing deeply, moving around, and keeping your hands busy. The immediate urge will fade after about three or four minutes.

Sounds like they can be caused by quitting smoking. I pray for your success at quitting. God bless you, Tapero
