Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query dizziness after smoking orange cream hookah is because of formation of carbon monoxide due to which it affects oxygen carrying capacity of blood and due to nicotine and other stimulants which has effect on central nervous system and it activates sympathetic nervous system which causes release of adrenaline from adrenal medulla into blood stream causes increases heart rate and blood pressure. This sudden increase in blood pressure is the cause of nausea and dizziness. I would suggest you to quit smoking hookah as that is the only preventing measure. Breath in fresh air. Keep chewing sugarless candies or chew-gums. Drink alot fluids and water.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
