Teenager. Uncomfortable Feeling, Dizziness, Fainting Spells After Wearing Tampon. TSS Problem?

i tried wearing a tampon yesterday as i am nearly 15 and pretty much everyone wears them. also i was supposed to go in the pool with my friends the next day. i put in the tampon, it didn't hurt but it felt a bit uncomfortable. i walked around a bit and a few seconds later i felt a bit dizzy. i used to have a few fainting spells and i know what it feels like before i faint so i immediately took out the tampon and trashed it. the next day (today) i put one back in, this time it did sort of hurt. it was extremely uncomfortable and i could barely move, never mind walk. after a few minutes of wearing it i fainted. after my black out i immediately took out the tampon (which really hurt) and put back on a pad. do i have TSS?

Hi,
TSS is Toxic Shock Syndrome, due to serious infections.If you dont have infection, no question oof having TSS.
* Dizziness can not be due to wearing tampoon. It must be psychological.you were scared,tense to adapt a new thing cerating the feeling. Any new thing you start with takes some time to adjest with. If tampoon is convenient for you,You should neglect the uneasiness,get used to it-give some time for that.
* The dizziness you had may be due to low blood sugur(fasting/insufficient food intake),due to menstual pain itself(but then it will be routine),Excessive bleeding,
* refractory error(eye sight problem) may cause it.
* Sinusitis(common cold
may result in guiddiness -(eustecian tube block- This will go by simple vapour (vicks) inhailation apart from chlorphenaramine maliate+paracetamol+caffine
combination of drug.
You are very young,leave apart tampoon, you must learn to be positive,confident &ready to accept the challanges.
Thank you.
