I have and for me it was being dehydrated try to up your water and electrolyte intake !

Are you keeping your self hydrated?

It sounds like you're not drinking enough water. It could be dehydration but idk 🤷🏾♀️ I quit smoking just because I didn't ffeel like myself anymore

So I have something similar happening to me and it’s been going on for a while. I have very poor eating habits, too, and I tend to not eat daily. I quit smoking marijuana about a month ago. I quit because it started to make me feel very nauseous and anxious and I couldn’t shake the feeling that one day it’ll kill me. Even though I know no one has died from it. I also get very dizzy when I stand up and I am always not feeling well and I’m drained. My recommendation, is to slow down on smoking, try to eat three times a day, even if it’s a little bit anything but a snack and plenty of fluids. Also take vitamins daily.
It will suck at first, but eventually, you will notice the difference in the way you feel.
I hope this advice helps!🩷

I've been smoking since the 5th grade and I have also had this happen after smoking a blunt felt hot dizzy and then started shaking in a stuck position thought it was a seizure of some sort but it was due to not eating and being over heated not staying hydrated enough after I cooled myself down kept cool and drank and ate and I was fine
I have been drinking pop and tea and water now and then but since this has happened I have been drinking water most of the day and a energy drink
Thank you so much guys for sharing this with me, it makes me feel a little better I’m not the only one to experience this, I am going to definitely cut down on the smoke and stop, my partner is reminding me to keep having a drink of water and keeps making me food x

Look up vasovagus syncope
I have a heart regurgitation ( portion of my blood goes backwards when pumping thru heart) which naturally causes lower blood pressures so I HAVE to stay hydrated and up on electrolytes and salty foods. However, lots of stress,heat and smoking can dis regulate your nervous system causing BP to drop even more especially after standing up/bending over. I just recently had an episode in the shower after sex lol good sex and being high and tons of stress being dehydrated led to me completely passing out within minutes of finishing in the shower with my husband. He had never seen it before but knew about my heart condition took a few minutes to wake me up and I was lightheaded and dizzy for days after.
When you’re feeling that hot shaky clammy feeling try to lie flat with feet up to bring blood back to your head. While you’re down there take LONG slow DEEP breathes. Completely fill your lungs and completely empty them. Look up 3part breaths and practice.
thank you for sharing haha 🤣 and giving me advice, after my ecg I had been told due to me being petite I have a irregular heart rhythm but it’s nothing to worry about, when I breath it there’s less space for my heart because of my ribs so it beats a little faster I asked the doctor if it was due to smoking cigarettes( they don’t know I smoke js) and he said no it’s not because of smoking as he smokes himself x

I felt that way in the beginning of my pregnancy (before I knew) and was smoking so I just stopped completely once I found out because it progressed to the smell of it really affecting me 🥴
Stop smoking weed now and I feel much better Iv nearly had a few episodes of fainting during sex and when I stood up to fast but managed to stop it before it happened x
