HI welcome to HCM
I have gone thru your query regarding numbness of tongue and thighs after quitting smoking . I can understand your concern ,
First of all , I congratulate you for taking this bold step of quitting .
All your symptoms are the outcome of long term smoking which weaken your immune system pushes you towards various health problems .
Smoking damages blood vessel walls, making it more difficult for your heart to pump blood to your hands and feet causing numbness, weakness or a feeling of heaviness in your legs .
, in severe cases, gangrene and amputation , besides , cancer , lung , heart failure .
. Quitting has nothing to do with it .
You should not worry about it. You will be able to overcome all symptoms by your strong will power and strength of determination . and of course , little bit of will power and perseverance can do magic by strengthening immunity .
Modifying your lifestyle ,, regular physical activity for proper blood circulation & detoxing , Doing Exercise , Sit ups , Walk Yoga and ,pranayam - Deep Breathing ,Kapalbhati ,Medication and including diet with all essential nutrients - Fiber ,Vitamins , Minerals ,and antioxidants like juice of amla , aloe vera , fresh juicy fruit & veges ,lemon juice and a 1/2 spoon of turmeric powder with a cup of cow's hot milk at bed time, helps to enhance minimum required energy level .and strengthen mind and body
It is important to stay properly hydrated for elimination of toxins from your body .
