drfefe2 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 It is normal. You might throw up. if you do, you will probably feel much better. Remember to pace yourself. Hookah is all about patience. Hooking on a full stomache and while sipping on a nice big glass of h2o will also help. I used to feel sick sometimes and I threw up once. But now that I know how to hookah better, and having raised my nicotine tolerance dou to me smoking more, I rarely feel sick anymore.p.s. try a couple big spoonfulls of straight sugar if you ever feel hookah sickness.

emachine Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 When I first smelled my soex shisha, I was really close to throwing up.. so maybe you need to acclimate your shisha first.Also from what I've experienced, if you sit/lay still and smoke for about an hour when you stand up you will get really really dizzy and nauseous. So try to move around while you smoke, change positions and stuff. That's what helps me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooki3monstr Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 well i feel a tiny bit better. yeah, i felt so dizzy standing up, and i still feel kinda dizzy. but i dont think im going to be sick, because i probably would of by now, right?and yeah im sipping on water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majid Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I used to have that every now and then when i first started. You don't have to go crazy on the hose though, just relax and puff every now and then, that'll help you get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1v3th3ad Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 hell, I have my days...been at it three yrs, just two weeks ago I did 8 hrs or so straight and had to go to bed at 6pm to get rid of dizziness/nausea/headache...like stated by another above...pace yourselfmine was lack of food and fluids because I was on campus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooki3monstr Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 yeah i also didnt have anything to eat for about 4 hours before. i should of drank water too. but i definitely rushed into it, taking huge puffs imediately. one of the puffs i felt my lungs get irritated, like getting a cold, and i had a coughing fit.

If you're feeling that bad, leave the hookah alone for a few days. Your health is more important than anything else. I have those mild heaving moments only when i am very stressed out about personal things, and pondering too much.

Zabiela Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Yeah, if you throw up its usually within an hour of the smoking. You should be fine now, just get something to eat, preferably with sugar.Somehow blood-sugar levels seem to be tied into oxygenation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have those mild heaving moments only when i am very stressed out about personal things, and pondering too much.im not smoking for a long time, and probably not inhaling the next time i do. i do feel better, but still dizzy a nauseous. the main thing is, i really dont want to throw up. i have emetophobia ( a fear of throwing up), and itd be the worst thing on earth. i have a high tolerance as far as getting sick goes, so i guess im ok. i mean, usually when people throw up from smoking, its right after taking in too much, right?

cymptom Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 When I threw up it was about two years ago in Japan. I had some crazy party in my apartment and mixed like 12 different kinds of alcohol... then everybody left and I don't know what happened. But when I woke up, I found my laptop power supply sitting in a puddle of vomit. Yep, it was fried -- 3 days before I had to present 40 pages worth of research before university faculty.

NickReppinThe909 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 sounds like oxygen depletion or shitty coals giving you CO poisoning or a combination of both. drink a lot of green or black tea and if you can just throw up you will feel way better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
