Why are my cigarettes making me sick

[atomic811]

I would like to know why my cigarettes (marlboro ultra lights) are suddenly over the past few months making me sick. Yes smoking is bad for you and yes I know I should quit and I am, but here is my issue.

When I smoke now my heart rate goes from 75 to 108 (140 if I stand) I feel sick to my stomach and sometimes vomit. After 20 mintes my heart rate does not come down like normal it stays up for 2 to 3 hours and hangs around 99 sitting and 120 standing.

I have had a 24 hour heart monitor and a heart echo. These came back normal except for the fast heart rate that the heart doctor said was "just anxiety" which it isn't at all. I am not nervous.

Is anyone else getting sick from their cigarettes over the past few months? What would cause this to happen? Like I said I am quitting, but why is this happening to me?

I am a 33 year old male and been smoking for 11 years. Not over weight.

And who paid you to be on this site? You have no idea what it is like to quit after all the additional addictive substances the tobacco industry has been allowed to put in them. This government should be thrown out along with the people in the industry. they have all been paid to kill their fellow countryman and they have pocketed the money with malicious greed and glee like you.
Get out of here you have no idea what you are talking about.

The Bible is the Word of God.  Jesus said the reason you cannot hear his word is because you are not of God.

I am really sorry for you that you buy into all of what the Bible says. It is a book filled with seemingly endless fairy-tales perpetuated as fact by the uneducated masses. Why uneducated? Because anyone with half a brain knows that calling baseless assertions "facts" is downright nonsensical. Every word in the Bible is just that, words - it makes no observable claims, no testable hypotheses, and most importantly it has no power of prediction. Our eternity depends on seeing and learning for ourselves - not what the some unsubstantiated text says. The ancients gave us God's word... you're stupid to take it as fact.

So you live by "his words", which are the old testament, which states we should deal with certain people in violent ways...so you live by that truth? You know you can still believe in your God and know at the same time that the Bible is a well written book from MAN'S perspective of metaphorical and actual occurrences. I am sorry for you if you pick up a stone and throw it...I mean how many of you have read your Bible and realized that when his followers asked if they should give charity or build temples etc Jesus ignored them and told them something else. He didn't say we should. People really misread the bible.

You silly sausage this is a load of crap, the bible isnt real and any1 who believes in it doesnt have the capability to work out its a load of bull.....its been proven that atheists have a higher IQ Tha those who believe in religion, God save us from religion!!!

Exactly, the bible was written 400 A.D. i can tell you i cause a 30 pound walleye and in 400 year theres no telling where the story will be. Not saying theres not a higher power cause how else was everything created but i dont believe in a "god". The bible says alot of stuff that isnt true at all accordit to history.

I cannot endorse smoking in any form, but just a warning. Here in the UK we have huge problems of imports (fakes) from China. Tobacco and cigarettes enter the country by the 1000's and get into shops. You simply can't tell by the wrapping but they contain nasty chemicals in high doses, such as Lead. It doesn't stop there. Medications are also sneaking in, and the only way to find out if these are fakes is for the manufacturers to test them. They have even been found in Hospitals giving them to patients.

That is exactly what is happening to me and my girlfriend. We just searched the internet for the same problem. Not so much the heart issues but definitely the nausea and vomiting. So we switched over to camels thinking Marlboro had a bad batch or something and it stopped. We were smoking the exact same cigarettes as you, Marlboro ultra lights.

I'm not sure if there is such a drug that you get hold of? How much coffee did you have? blood pressure will increase a bit after such a large meal, then coffee would increase it more, then a cigarette would increase it even further. I would say swap the cigarette for the coffee, but that would be encouraging you to smoke and not very clever.
