Title: Why does a kiss make you feel dizzy and lightheaded sometimes?
Post by: Airthumbs on 29/06/2011 16:57:15: Sometime ago when I was last with my ex, I was kissing her but I had to keep stopping as I almost fell over each time we had a snog! It was horrible!

Since then I discovered I had some weird kind of vertigo that amazingly one of the folks on this forum was able to sort out by telling me to perform the Epely manouver http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epley_maneuver

But even before that I always recall that sometimes I felt very lightheaded because of a kiss. Has anyone else had this effect? And I know some of you might be tempted to say it might be because of the blood was rushing off somewhere else, but that wasn't the case [::)]

Do you, or did you, have a habit of kissing somewhat inebriated ladies?

Geeze Louise, My idea of heaven, really is to find a man that can kiss me, making me feel dizzy,light headed and in love.... Awwwww... I love kissing!

Post by: Airthumbs on 06/07/2011 02:17:42: I must admit KarenW, the contrast of green and orange is very appealing to the eye, although beware as this little tree frog may well be quite poisonous. However it's such a lovely creature I would have to risk it just in case it turned into a beautiful princess. [:I]

Apparently the French are quite good at kissing so maybe that wouldn't be a bad thing Don. [:D]
