What Causes Swelling In Feet, Ankles, Dyspnea And Bloating After Quitting Smoking?
Hi, I recently quit smoking about 2 weeks ago and have smoked for about 20 years. I have swelling in my feet and ankles, experience shortness of breath, and have abdominal bloating which interferes with breathing and sleeping at night. How do I get rid of the edema and how long will it take for me to start feeling normal again??
