Withdrawal most probably, expect more side effects and not very pleasant ones. If symptoms get quite severe then see your doctor.
I agree, see doc, and well done for getting to grips with the smoking, it will be the best thing you have ever done, it took me a while but got there in the end, so keep up the good work.
Take care

Despite giving up the cigs in April I do suffer still with giddiness but its been put down to overbreathing as that can cause all sorts of nasty probs. Your Dr is the best one to speak to and hope that he/she can give you the answer.
