Tampon Problems

I usually use a pad during menstration, however I have been using a tampon when i go to the gym or beach this week.  Almost everytime i do, i get a nasuea feeling and a little dizzy.  Could this be from having the tampon in?  anyone know if there are any issues related to this that I should be aware of?

Please advise.
thanks!

That is what I thought... but the symptoms are far worse if it is tss... I did stop using them ... perhaps it is because i use them so infrequently... i'm really not sure!
Thank you for your advice. :)

It could be something like toxic shock symdrome....but thats pretty rare. If this only started happeneing when you started using tampons, then I would refrain from using them and see what happens.
