Suggest Remedy For Rapid Heart Rate, Severe Gas With Back Pain After Quitting Smoking

I quit smoking cold turkey 2 weeks. Since then I have a rapid heart rate, severe gas and on and off back pain. I wake up many times at night convinced that I have lung cancer.



I am a 47 year old female, weigh 65kg have no medical problems before. Went for a blood count in December and everything was normal. I have smoked for 27 years. This is the first time I have ever decided to quit and intend to stick by it. Someone I know died last week at the age of 55 from lung cancer and this has made me even more determined to quit.
