Hello,

Bad and harmful to health as smoking is, I do not think it is responsible for these symptoms.

I believe the most likely cause is anxiety which can commonly cause all those symptoms you mention.

Psychotherapy and if not enough antianxiety medication are the mainstay of treatment.

One other possibility to consider would be thyroid dysfunction which should be checked through some routine blood tests.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Olsi Taka, Neurologist
