Is There Any Relation Between Smoking, Pins And Needles And Nausea?
I m 21 years old, suffer with chronic fatigue syndrome and have smoked two cigarettes today, without consuming any food. Shortly after the cigarettes (I am not a regular smoker) I began experiencing pins and needles in my hands, nausea , shaking and general fatigue. I have since eaten some food and the symptoms seem to have lessened. Should I seek medical attention?
