Brief Answer:
symptoms typical of nicotine withdrawal
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The symptoms of dizziness, craving and anxiety may be due to the nicotine withdrawal. Symptoms normally peak by day 3 and resolve by week 2 in most persons.
Additional symptoms may sometimes occur such as headache , nausea, tingling , difficulty concentrating.
Fatigue is not usually seen but persons can react differently..
The blood pressure reading of 102/57 mmHg would not necessarily be considered dangerous unless it was a significant drop compared with your normal. This reading would be considered normal blood pressure for some persons.
Increasing fluid and salt intake can help to bring up the blood pressure.
In terms of the klonopin, this class of medications can sometimes affect blood pressure though this is not seen in everyone.
If you have noticed a significant change in your blood pressure when you used klonopin in the past, then you may need to hold it but this should only be done in consultation with your doctor.
If you have not experienced any issues with the klonopin with previous use then it should not cause a problem at this time and should be used as suggested by your doctor
If you are not sure about the effect of the klonopin then you can increase your fluid and salt intake, use the klonopin and monitor
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions

I Am on the patch i forgot to mention.. only 14mgs. I smoke up to 2 packs a day so even though im on the patch im still going thru withdrawls.. I literally have an anxiety attack n my blood pressure is low it's very odd.. im having nausea too.. the dizziness is my worst complaint bc im scared to faint.. I hope this goes away fast .. I can deal with cravings but not the sick feeling.. nothing bad can happen to me bc of low blood pressure right?
Brief Answer:
this reading is not a problem
Detailed Answer:
HI
The reading at the moment is not low enough to cause a problem, as mentioned, this is the normal blood pressure range for some persons.
It maybe low for you if your readings are normally a lot higher but the lower limit for blood pressure is 90/60 and some persons even have readings lower than this with no issues
Please feel free to ask anything else

Brief Answer:
cough suppressant/decongestant, pain killer
Detailed Answer:
HI
I am sorry about that.
You should consider the use of a cough suppressant along with a decongestant even if there are no nasal symptoms.
the decongestant helps if there is a undetected drip to the back of the throat stimulating the cough.
These are over the counter meds and would come as either cough/cold meds or allergy meds.
Ibuprofen, cataflam,paracetamol or aleve can be used to help with the chest and throat pain.
