Is It Normal To Have Light Head Ache After Using And Removing Tampon For First Time?
I tried using a tampon for the first time today. Everything went fine. I got it inserted right but then I got up and walked around for about a minute and started to feel weird. I got lightheaded and didn't feel right. I walked to the bathroom concerned and slowly took it out. After I took it out, I got very lightheaded, got very hot like a hot flash and felt like puking. These symptoms went away after about 3 minutes of laying in my garage to cool off. Is this normal, what should I do?

There is no need for any concern.
I would suggest you not to use tampon again.
The symptoms could have been due to pelvic spasm initiated by vaginal dilatation in response to foreign substance in vagina
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you happy and healthy life
Take Care
