Great job keep resisting those cancer sticks. Your body still needs to wean it self off even after all this time that you have quite. With your sleeping, drink some milk, not cold or hot but at room temperature, take a bath then put the AC as low as you can stand. THat usually helps people. But what every you do don't start again.

i have a friend that he just went throught the same thing, and after 10 weeks of quitting smoking we was with sinus ( which he never had when he smoked) and had a lot of things...
I think is somehow a way of the body to claim to go back smoking again.. PLS DONT!!

Because you are a new self. Some books to read: Celestine prophecy and Zen Commandments( not a book on religion) and watch the movie What the Bleep Do We Know.
Good luck and congratulations

Nicotine addiction is the most difficult factor to overcome for smokers. One of the major deterrants for those considering quitting smoking is the fear of nicotine withdrawal symptoms. Due to their close resemblance to cold and flu symptoms, this condition is often referred to as the "quitter's flu." Although nicotine withdrawal symptoms can cause considerable discomfort and frustration, keep in mind that they do subside with time. Most quit smoking aids are designed to specifically deal with nicotine withdrawal symptoms, making your journey to being a non-smoker that much easier.
Nicotine withdrawal symptoms
irritability
mood swings
restlessness
insomnia
fatigue
inability to concentrate
sore throat
cough
congestion
headache
increased appetite
constipation, gas, stomach pain
dry mouth
sore tongue/gums
postnasal drip
tightness in the chest
Quit smoking aids significantly reduce the effects of nicotine withdrawal. Visit the nicotine replacement therapy for information about the popular nicotine replacement products such as nicotine gum and nicotine patches. If you prefer to quit smoking naturally, find the right natural quit smoking products for you!

I believe this is just a phase. You just have to be strong and you will get use to it
