Is shortness of breath a side effect of the patch?

I have not smoked for alomost 2 weeks now and have been on the patch the whole time. I have experienced shortness of breath at times. I have very rarely experienced that when I did smoke, and if I did it was usually a result of smoking way to much the day before. I don't have a frequent cough either. Is this lack of breath a side effect and something I should be worried about, or is this something that sometimes happens after you stop smoking?

How many cigarettes did you normally smoke a day? It could be that the patch is too strong for you if you were not a heavy smoker. Otherwise, I would ask your family doctor. He will be able to tell you if this is something you need to be concerned about. Best of luck to you!

No, it is a side effect of smoking.
