Does anybody else notice that caffeine or nicotine affects them in a weird way?
I was suspecting I have IBS until I stopped smoking and all my symptoms went away (very frequent loose stools and stomach pains). Relapsing made them come back. All my friends smoke and they don’t have any of these issues.
Drinking anything with caffeine can make me have episodes where I get dizzy and feel like I’m going to pass out if I stand up too fast, after sitting or lying down (is this orthostatic hypotension?). It happens all the time in summer/hot weather.
I also have episodes of sudden weakness and shakiness where I have to eat something or feel like I’m going to faint (it goes away immediately after I eat).
Why does nobody else have these symptoms? Do I have some kind of intolerance to stimulants or something?
