Dizzy?


13 years ago 0 2606 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0

Members,

You may experience some occasional dizziness during your quit. You are now absorbing more oxygen through your lungs than your body has been accustomed to. This dizziness may come once or twice a day for a few days. It usually lasts only one or two seconds, and is gone before you have time to do anything about it.

How long will this last? The first few days after quitting.

Tips to help: Take extra caution in the common physical things you do. Practice standing up or moving at a slower pace.

If you have a symptom that persists or seems worse than you expected, you should immediately consult a doctor. Its possible that your smoking has been masking symptoms of some illness, and when you stop smoking the symptoms abruptly become noticeable.

Please feel free to share your tips or experiences regarding dizziness or any other withdrawal symptom you have experienced?
