scary hookah experience!

so a while back, i was smoking some hookah with my friend at a local hookah bar. after being there for about an hour and half, maybe two (the bowl was PACKED with sheesh, that shit just never ran out!), i got up to go to the bathroom. i became really dizzy feeling, and disoriented, and stumbled towards the bathroom, and just fell on my face. I then went into the bathroom, sat on the toilet, and proceeded to take a medium sized shit. I was sweating, and mildy shaking. I then met my friend outside and told him what happened, we walked towards my car, my friend noting how white i my face had become. i was still dazed, and i fell over in the middle of the road. I was fine 10 minutes later after eating some satsuma oranges, with just a slight headache. I didnt think much of this, and laid off smoking hookah for a little while. Since then ive smoked hookah probably 15-20 times, with those symptoms never recurring...until last night. I was smoking hookah, again for about 2 hours, and went to take a piss, and while doing so, became dizzy, and collapsed in the bathroom. I got up, and rinsed my face off with cold water, and drank a lot of water with the cupped-hand technique. I exited the bathroom, and proceeded to fall over on the walk back to the hookah. My pulse was going extremely fast at this point
Anyone have any ideas why this could have happened? does tobacco thin your blood or something? This only happens at this particular hookah bar, which i smoke at longer, and has much higher quality tobacco than other hookah bars i frequent.

Sounds like a combination of the tobacco and standing up too quickly after being seated for so long. I've passed out before from just the standing up part, but I'm sure the tobacco wouldn't help at all.

could also be a rush of nicotine/ lack of oxygen..
i know if you take a huge drag from a cig then take a big breath and hold it in.. you'll get super dizzy and more than likely fall over or have to sit down
so he should give up the massive tobbacco smoking

nicatine makes you dizzy, and it also fucks with your lungs so if you get up real fast there wont be nearly enough oxygen...

just a simple case of low blood pressure... smoking and i presume drinking alcohol for two hourse while sitting totally relaxed will drop your blood pressure to very low levels and if you don't take your time when standing up you can black out!
