Sudden Coldness In Body, Numbness, Tingling In Legs, Smoke Alot. Could It Be The Reason?
All of a sudden my body started to feel pretty cold and I was experience some numbness and tingling in my legs. I smoked more cigarettes than I normally would last night, and I was wondering if this could be the reason why. I've only been smoking for two years and I smoke maybe less than a pack a week. Yesterday I probably had the equivalent of a pack and a half in a night.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understnd your concern.
Smoking is bad as we all know.
It is more considered as a killer in the current regime of work site stress.
People smoke more when stressed or distressed.
It does more harm than good. Consuming water can reduce stress.
In your case, the culprit here is your knowledge about smoking.
You are worried about your smoking habbit.
Your worry translated in to anxiety symptoms when you over used cigarettes.
You must have been sweating at that time, and a small draught caught you unaware.
You thought it might be something horrendous. That is it.
Just don't worry. But for good future, stop smoking.
