Summary
A Reddit user whose symptoms, including pain that made working out not worth it, began while they were heavily using nicotine, caffeine and alcohol. They had stopped working out for over a year because of the pain. They cut nicotine out after symptoms started, then tried it again a year later and felt it made things worse. They mentioned a period when their general symptoms weren't too bad.
