Does nicotine cause anxiety?
Anxiety Question:
Does nicotine cause anxiety? If I quit, will my anxiety lessen?
Anxiety Answer:
Rather than being a cause of anxiety, nicotine appears to rev up the nervous system and therefore the high level of nervous activity matches and appears to calm anxiety.
So, quitting smoking kicks out a crutch that helps handle anxiety.
You can expect your anxiety level and blood pressure to RISE after quitting for a couple of weeks or months. It's a good idea to incorporate some physical activities (that tire you out!) and some stress management regimens into your program to quit smoking.
