Default stopping smoking

Can that lead to a worsening of symptoms?
I have rarely had any dizziness in the last 2 months, but as soon as I stopped smoking (following a flu) I am being very dizzy very often...

is it nicotine cravings or the flu? this is really out of the blue and so depressing. t has been 10 months since my minor accident.

Could it be because you are now getting more oxygen to the brain. I can't help but think quiting smoking can only be a good thing in the long run on so many levels. I would hang in there it will be worth it!

I'm not sure.

Are you experiencing withdrawal effects? That could be one explanation.

Anyways quitting smoking should only benefit your health in the long-run.

Congrats on quitting smoking! I agree that it should be a benefit, hopefully the symptoms level off.
