Recently, i have quit smoking, I've only smoked for a year and a half and i stopped because my best friends mother had a heart attack from smoking. I'm feeling really good about myself, I'm able to breathe better and able to walk farther when i work out, but something really has been bothering me lately. About the first day into my journey to quit, i started getting weird lower left abdominal pain. I am a male. It feels as if something would be pulling on my intestine, only when i move it stings. Is my body's lack of nicotine making my intestine freak out? I'm thinking about going to my family doctor, just wanted some clarification from you.
