Yeahh I would say you should call the maker of the tampon. That does not sound normal.

It actually sounds a bit like toxic shock syndrome. There's a warning about it either on the tampon box, or in the leaflet inside. I don't know too much about it though, so if I were you I wouldn't use them again until you can talk to your doctor.
