So a few times in the past it had happened that I've smoked and ended up fainting. Every time I hadn't had a regular food diet that day, was very tired, etc. Usually when it strats to happen I get very light-headed then I feel woozy - then I faint. Last night the same thing started to happen, however I started to feel as if I could not breath at all, I went outside for air and my body really felt like it was on fire. My neck and my scalp especially. I also felt as if I would faint and was talking nonsense - I felt so messed up and the burning sensation was very intense (so intense I was welcoming the fainting just to get it over with). This time though, I didn't faint, just came very close I think and after a few minutes went and sat in a cool tub and felt better shortly. Is this an allergic reaction or could it be just another feeling of faintness??? Also I had a tampon and was curious if it is also a symptom of TSS?
I don't think anyone here can tell you if the fainting was due to the smoking as it effects everyone different. If you think that is it, why do you continue to smoke it? Seems to me you are not reacting to it in a good way and it would probably be in your best interest not to do it.
As far as the TSS, you would be best served to ask that question in the Woman's Forum. This forum is for Substance Abuse and I don't know if you will get the proper response here.
I wish you the best.
