Hey, I'm new to the forum. Having acquired some n,n-dmt I was excited to partake in it, although anxious because, well it's DMT  Anyway, I've smoked it a few times, only getting visuals once. However, a few times when I have smoked it my face has turned very red and I get lightheaded when I stand up... This is when I have a dose that is enough for me to feel a pretty strong body buzz. IS this normal? Am I allergic to DMT or something? I don't want to go further into the experience if I'm having bad physical reactions.

Did you extract it yourself or can you at least be sure of it's purity?

Ill add that since im new to dmt ive got a lot of adrenaline running through me when smoking it too... could the flushed face be a result of this + fast heart rate?

An increase in heart rate is very common.
I often feel adrenalized and deflated at the same time, but I usually feel a little colder rather than flushed.

So, is it possible my face is just turning red because of all the adrenaline going through me before/while I'm smoking the DMT?

I got a similar reaction. I felt very hot all of a sudden and started to sweat. Nothing to be worried about; something to be aware of. I certainly wouldn't combine anything that raises your body temperature or heart rate in the mix with something that already does, i.e. alcohol, ecstacy, speed w/e.
I knew a lot of people who loved to go overboard, a lot of them can't carry their train of thought anymore.
I don't want to put any negativity into the ordeal, just some friendly warnings. Stay hydrated, stay safe.

Google search led me here: http://forums.mycotopia.net/botanicals-cactus-misc-entheogens-psychedelics/45769-health-risks-associated-smokine-dmt.html. The first post has the quote:
Quote:"Our original DMT study demonstrated that DMT raised blood levels of beta- endorphin, cortisol, adrenal stimulating hormone....... In addition, we found rises in blood pressure, heart rate, pupil diameter, and core temperature in response to DMT"
Your symptoms would seem normal, based on this description. If you have a healthy cardiovascular system, you should be perfectly fine. If you can endure hard exercise, you can handle DMT.
Also, I'm assuming from your description that you're a little apprehensive about smoking DMT. Take it easy; move slowly. It's possible to bump yourself up every couple of minutes or so to get a feel for the first plateau of DMT. This should reduce your anxiety. Being prepared to let go entirely will help as well.Disclaimer: Everything I say is the truth.
