Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
As you stopped smoking suddenly, which is causing withdrawal in your case. But there is no need to worry as withdrawal will last 1-2 weeks only. Till that time remain motivated towards de addiction from smoking.
If there is severe discomfort and you are not able to stop smoking yourself then, for deaddiction you can meet nearby psychiatrist. In treatment anti-craving (like bupropion) and nicotine replacement therapy (for withdrawal control) are helpful.
Wishing you good health and all the best.
