Getting headaches from vaping

[LaceyUnderall]

Headaches are also caused by dehydration. I think our bodies get dehydrated with vaping, hence the reports of unusually dry skin, eyes, etc. Vapers really need to increase their fluid intake.

And I don't know about anyone else but I "forget" to eat quite often when vaping heavily. What reminds me? When I start getting a headache, I have to actually think when I last ate. I must get so consumed with all the vaping rigmarole that I don't even think about it. I've lost about 5 lbs already....without even trying! But as soon as I get that ache in my head, I stop and get something to eat and drink and it never goes any further....and I use 36mg.

So it's not the vaping itself that's causing the problems for me but neglecting other important things that go along with it.

Lu - Totally agree with you on this. I have noticed the exact same thing...

Lots of people have reported headaches on the forum. At least one case ended up in hospital and was diagnosed as nicotine overdose.

Well the biggest problem is a lot of people don't drink enough water. Remember, drinking a 2 liter of soda/pop does not equal to drinking a half gallon of water!

I have experienced head aches when trying my clove cartridges, sadly they came in high. it was just too much nicotine for me.

So try increasing your water intake/lowering your nicotine strength.

My wife had a similar problem and the doctor said she was probably sucking too hard and straining her pharyngeal constrictor.

Well if Jimmi's avatar gives us a clue ..I don't think it's about esmoking!

[katink]

LOL... I did hear about another doctor giving the same diagnosis... and about e-smoking, at least in that case

I just started getting these headaches around day 45 of vaping, but they seem to be pretty consistent now. I can't figure out what changed. I'm vaping the same amount and the same liquid. It never fails though, about 15-30 minuets after I vape i get a slight headache, then when i vape again and the headache gets super intense. Has anyone found any solutions yet?

Just an idea, but if one takes any kind of medication to lower blood pressure, this may interfere with vaping since nicotine constricts blood vessels. For instance, if one is taking say an aspirin, one's blood vessels dilate, but if you vape, then your blood vessels contract... This is akin to taking an upper and a downer at once, i.e. something you don't want to do.

Contracting blood vessels cause headaches anyway. It could just be that you are/have become sensitive to nicotine's effect on blood vessels. If nausea is occasionally accompanied w/ headache, it would make blood pressure a more likely candidate.
