Nicotine Overdose?

I made the dumb mistake of starting to smoke about 2 years ago.  I smoked for a few months, realized how stupid I was and then wanted to quit.  I bought the gum -many times using the gun sometimes in the day and then smoke cigarettes also.  I know that was wrong and didn't use it properly, my fault. I quit using the gum. One day after smoking more than usual, I experienced something very scary. After smoking, I got very dizzy,sick to my stomach, passed out and then started vomiting while passed out, this continued along with diarrhea for about 20 - 30 minutes. I was convinced it was from smoking so I quit.  About 8 months passed and I thought, that it was a coincident  and  no Dr would confirm it was the smoking....  So.... about 2 weeks I started again, slowly but then one morning (before noon) I had 6 cigarettes and the same thing happened again only much more severe. The pain in my gut (lower abdomen) started first, 15 minutes later,dizziness, severe head ache, followed by vomiting and passing out. That  progression happened 3 times over til the ambulance came, the thought it was my heart.  I just spent the last two days in the hospital being worked over. Brain Scan, Cat scan, blood work, heart monitors, echo cardiogram, EKG's,some GI tests also. They gave me a clean bill of health but still will not say it had anything to do with the cigarettes. In my mind I feel it does. Does it?  Is this just a coincident?

Your body doesn't like the nicotine I guess.  Stay away from it!
