what is wrong with me?

[kdub87]

Ok first of all i have never smoked weed in my life before this experience. I have ate it once in a brownie and a couple hours after i ate the brownie all of the sudden i felt like i couldnt breathe and my heart was racing, i took some controlled deep breaths and it went away in about 10 minutes. So anyway, about a week ago i thought i would try smoking weed. this was my first time and from what i understand it was some pretty strong stuff. i took about 2 or 3 hits of it and was feeling pretty good. then about 15 minutes later out of nowhere it felt like i couldnt breathe at all life someone was choking me, and my heart started beating really fast. i sat down and calmed myself down it , then i started feeling like i was going to throw up but i was just dry heaving. i felt exremely paranoid the whole nite and kept thinking i was dieing. the next day i woke up and felt like i had a really bad hangover and i was cold all day and still felt like i couldnt breathe right, my heart would race from time to time for no reason and it would feel as if i couldnt breathe. after dealing with these symptoms and being depressed for a couple days, i went to the ER and they ran x-rays on me and blood tests and hooked me up to a EKG and everything was normal. now everytime i work out i feel my heart pounding uncontrollably and feel shortness of breath. has anyone ever felt like this before? any input would be very much appreciated

I had what you experienced last week actually, minus the hangover feeling. I smoked about 2 grams of some wicked sativa, and for the first time in years I felt like I was going to faint again.
Sounds like you just smoked too much. Next time, smoke half of what you usually do, wait 10 minutes, then smoke a little bit more if you feel like you need to. Also, dont eat it unless youre really experienced - eating it makes it about 3 times more powerful!
Try and get some different bud too, see if that makes a difference. Could just be the strain that doesnt agree with ya.

i know this may sound weird because i am only 19 but do you guys think i could have had a stroke or something? because i do have kinda high blood pressure maybe 150/80s sometimes.

Panic attacks maybe? But choking... that's not good. Perhaps you should see a doctor and just get checked out, I honestly wouldn't suggest talking to him/her about the weed, because if you tell him/her "I choke everytime I smoke" he'll/she'll just say "dont smoke". Try their above meathods... smoke half of what you did. I find if I smoke too much at once, I throw up and get sick.

Just out of curiosity, do you smoke cigarettes? I've seen cigarettes do that to people when they smoke one before or after smoking weed.

Sorry if this didn't make sense.
I'm stoned.

I thought weed was supposed to lower your blood pressure? Could be wrong though.

i think that i might be allergic to it.

i thought i was supposed to lower your bp also, but ive heard different lately, i really dont know what is going on with me, after i smoked it i just felt like shit for almost a week, i went to the doctor and like i said they ran the EKG and blood tests and everything was normal. they basically said i was having panic attacks and i saw my doctor and prescribed me some meds for the panic attacks. but for some reason i keep thinking i had a stroke or something is wrong with my brain.. maybe its all in my head but has anyone ever heard of someone stroking out from smoking weed?

[Jizzle Blizzle420]

there are a few diff reasons of why this may of happened. one you could be allergic (if so im so sorry). two it could of just been 2 strong for your second time. 3 you could of just smoked too much for your tolerance. 4 it very well could be all in your head (i know it sounds wierd but its true). i recommend gettin some low potency shwagg/commercial and only taking one hit out of a pipe. wait a couple minutes and see how you feel. one you get a small buzz stop smoking. repeat this and slowly start smoking more. I had this same thing happen to me when i first started smoking. now i can smoke with the best of them lol. (well from where im from anyways. our weed sucks!)

it also may interact badly with any medication you might be taking so be careful with that as well.

sounds like an anxiety attack......those can have real physical symptoms such as you describe. There are times I get blazed and get very paranoid....I could see how this could lead to an anxiety attack. I have a friend who gets them (she doesn't use weed) but gets the exact same symptoms you describe.
