Getting sick from cigars.

[thechrisdotcom]

I'm leaning more towards the cigar again. My brother takes a medicine that lowers his blood pressure and I think the nicotine made it drop even more and caused it. My wife just reminded me that his medicine he takes will lower his blood levels. I think he just didn't have enough sugar in him even though it never affected him by making him feel light headed or anything.

I'm not a doctor. Heck, I don't even play one on T.V. So take this with a grain of salt, but nicotine is a stimulant which actually will raise your blood pressure. I'm still leaning towards not the cigar, but I could be wrong...
