A member asked:
Why do i get light headed sometimes when working out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many reasons : Inhalation of cigarette smoke infuses carbon monoxide, particulates, nicotine, carbon dioxide, and many other gases into the lungs with almost instantaneous absorption into the blood (bolus effect) going right to the brain, leading to transient decreases in brain oxygen. This causes dizziness or syncope.
