Does Smoking Cause Dizziness?
Hi I'm a 44 year old woman who smokes and I have been feeling dizzy for quite a few days I'm dizzy when I Drive when I come to a stop sign or red light I can't look straight ahead without my head spinning my car feels like it's floating in the air. I get dizzy when I'm at work talking on the phone to a customer while placing a stamp order on the computer. I sit in my car for lunch and smoke a cigarette or two and when I get out to walk back into the building my ears feel like they get completely clogged in my head spin severely. Everytime i cough my head spins.

Well there can be many reasons for vertigo , but the most common is anxiety and the other Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) are ear infection , hypoglycemia , anemia , meniere's disease , migraine and alteration in he blood circulation . I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order test like rotatory chair test , head movement test , posturography and CT scan .
