Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My regular blood pressure has always been on the low side, though regular Dr checkups ensure me its fine. I do notice, that when smoking a cigarette (1/2 of one - as I seem sensitive to them)....in usually a social envirenment....I feel about ready to pass out! Odd. The only other time that experience has happened was when my body seemed to reject the IUD birth control. I passed out when my Dr. did the procedure. There was a name for it-I forgot now. My blood pressure dropped due to the procedure. I did need to have the IUD removed because I continually felt dizzy & had contractions almost like when I gave birth to my children! Can cigarettes cause blood pressure to drop?
