Feeling Dizzy or Light-Headed

Duration: 2-12 days

Cause: After quitting cigarettes, your brain needs to adjust to normal levels of oxygen in the blood. Carbon monoxide from smoking interfered with blood oxygen delivery. Changes in blood sugars, blood pressure, or circulation related to nicotine levels may also contribute to dizziness.

Tip: Take extra caution when performing activities. Change positions slowly. If a dizziness spell occurs, sit or lie down until it passes. If dizziness is intense, persists or is associated with other concerning symptoms, consult your health care provider.
