What causes dizziness and shakiness?

Q: I’m a sophomore in high school and for the past 3 months I’ve been experiencing dizziness and shakiness when I’m at school. I’ve been tested for diabetes and that came back negative, I’ve also had a MRI scan of my brain and that came back normal. What else causes these symptoms? I’m 16 by the way.

A: Dehydration and low blood sugar possibly. Do you eat well, drink your 8 glasses of water daily and take vitamins? Try this! If it only occurs at school and no where else it could be psychological… which would suggest that you talk to a professional (dr., psychologist, psychiatrist, etc.)Do try taking good care of your body too. Don’t just eat junk foods or sugary stuff and drink lots of fluids. 🙂 (little or no caffeine or energy drinks too.)

What causes dizziness and nausea after smoking a cigarette?

Q: yes I know smoking is bad, and I have no intentions of letting myself get addicted. I’m just curious as to what caused this:I smoked one and got insanely dizzy, and then so nauseous that I had to lay down and not move for nearly an hour. I honestly felt like I was going to die. What in the world happened? I know that can’t be normal.

A: That’s the effect of nicotine, especially if you’re not used to it. Your body is trying to tell you not to smoke, so I hope you will listen to it. I had the same reaction when I took my first drag of cigarette smoke, but was too stupid to heed the warning and became a long-term smoker. It’s very easy to become addicted, even if you have no intention of doing so. So please, make that one nasty cigarette your last one!
