Q: CAD - quit smoking - now LIGHTHEADED

I quit smoking about two weeks ago and ever since I quit, I have been feeling lightheaded. This feeling comes and goes. At times the feeling has gotten worse to the point of feeling so dizzy that it feels like the world is moving around me and I lose balance. This has happened to me twice while driving. Very scary feeling. I have CAD. I had a heart attack two years ago in which the doctor said No damage was done to the heart. I also have type 2 diabetes that is under control... A1C is 5.0.

dizzy and nauseated

I have never been diagnosed with CAD but too I also have diabetes..after a medium light lunch, I came home and appx half hr later...i became dizzy and the dizziness kept increasing, realizing I was becoming extremely nauseated. Then, threw up. Afterwards, became very weak on the inside. I laid down for a couple of hours and felt only a tiny bit better and today *the day after* still very weak. I just wonder if its heart related???
