Since yesterday I've been feeling really sleepy and even got low blood pressure yesterday afternoon, at the beggining I thought it might be an overdose so I kept my e-cigarette aside for 6 hours and nothing, It's getting also very difficult for me to concentrate on anything.

I've read that this could be a withdrawal symptom, is that the case or should I be worried?

I haven't changed my e-juice concentration, I'm vaping 18mg, I'm not vaping more than before, I'm even vaping less since yesterday just in case.

Have you got a carbon monoxide alarm at home? If youv'e got a boiler at home or a gas fireplace id check it out. I had exactly what you describe a year back turns out that there was a carbon monoxide leak in the fireplace... nearly ended up asleep on my sofa forever :s

Damn, that was really dangerous, I'm completly sure that's not my case, I'm starting to feel a little better now, but it's still a strange symptom.
 
Although nicotine is a stimulant... there must be something in tobacco that makes you stay awake easier and be more excitable. A number of people had sleep issues when starting the e-cig... but I had these same problems when I quit analogs for 10 days in 1999. I could not stay awake. I felt weak and dizzy. I slept 12-18 hours a day. When I started e-cigs about 6 weeks ago... same thing happened. I posted on here to see if it was a symptom of e-cig use.. but then I remembered feeling the same way last time I gave up tobacco. Your body is adjusting to not having a LOT of chemicals in it... give it a few days.. but if it gets worse or you feel weird... go to a Dr and if you live alone... you should call someone and tell them to call and wake you after a certain # of hours so you don't sleep a whole day( I slept nearly 22 hours one night! I almost missed work!)

Edit: I just saw your banner... did you just give up analogs? Or did you give them up when your banner says?

Well, thanks everyone for your advice, all I did since I started feeling better today was have lunch (maybe the timing is just coincidence), the sleepy symptom comes and goes since yesterday, just in case it was low blood sugar I was eating candies all morning.

I have to go on a long road trip for work tomorrow so hopefully the symptom will go away, anyways, if I wake up feeling weird again I'll just stay home, I don't want to put myself and others in danger.
