Realy weird experience, need help.

ok well lets see how to start this off. first off i have been a mmj patient for the last year, but i have been a heavy smoker for the last 8 years. so this isnt a "first timers" experience. now, to the topic. so the other day im over helping a friend get a customers car done. we were working probly a good ten hours and then later that night we went in the house to smoke. i took a hit of "indy 1" and seemed to taste good, no problems. then when i took the 2nd hit, things got realy weird.

you know how if you stand up to quick, you get a "headrush" and your vision gets kinda "fuzzy" and you dont see for a second untill it clears away?

well when i took that 2nd hit, i coughed for a second, then when i opened my eyes i could not see at all. when i opened them, all i could see was the "fuzz". thats the only way i can describe what it was like. it lasted a long time as well, probly around 10 minutes, but i cant say a set number. they had to help sit me down, and when i could start to see again, i remember them saying i was sweating realy bad.

this was the first time this had happened so im realy lost and dont know what this is or why it happened. if anyone out there has ever experienced this before or has some knowlege to share, please let me know.

My girlfriend has had this happen to her before But it was like one of her first times smokin so idk what your case is.... All of these medical and wierd problems ive been hearing from smokin weed all just sounds like yall got some laced weed. I have smoked some of the shittiest weed and some very bomb weed and Ive never had any stupid trips like that not even my first time smokin So it sounds really sketch but If it doesnt happen again then fucc it?

well maybe it was just because i hadnt eatin that day, idk. just awfully weird. and theres no chance of it bein laced weed, its a friends homegrown.

"you know how if you stand up to quick, you get a "headrush" and your vision gets kinda "fuzzy" and you dont see for a second untill it clears away?"

Um, no!
That is not "normal".
It's what you call, a symptom.

Low blood pressure and dehydration can cause that if it gets bad enough.
So can restricted blood flow to the brain.
Actually, there are several conditions that cause these symptoms and two of them are quite serious.

So, might be nothing, but no get dis kine advice from your peers.
Go see a real doctor is the best advice they can give ya.:cool:

Aloha and stay well.

well i have a history of dehydration problems. never thought much of it. maybe i should go see the doc then. im the stupid fuck that will let things go untill its to late.

You might have been coughing very hard, and had your eyes closed extremely tight, pushing the blood out of your receptors temporarily. Similar if you rub your eyes really hard and it gets a bit fuzzy.

Either way, go to a doc, see whats up, no sense in guessing.

Sounds like a low blood pressure gray out to me. Like the others, maybe consider seeing a doc if it happens again, otherwise use weed you know where it came from.

well your right, i found out that i have low blood pressure and a high heart rate. hence why i have a history of dehydration problems. but it was weird that this was the first time this had happened cause ive been a heavy user for the last 8 years...but i think its time i stop for my health. mmj does help me in many ways, but if i have a abnormal heart rate well then mj isnt gona help that...

its like they say, all good things must come to an end i guess.
mj can HELP everyone in some way, but its not MEANT for everyone.

It's a symptom called orthostatic hypotension- a fancy word for a sudden drop in blood pressure when someone stands up or changes positions too quickly.

This can be caused by a combination of many factors, including but not limited to low blood sugar, dehydration, overheating, anxiety, and... being stoned. You should be fine if it happens occasionally, it does to many people (including me!)

If it persists despite none of these factors, or becomes an issue, go to your GP. They'll do an orthostatic set of blood pressures- another fancy medical term for taking your blood pressures while laying down, sitting, and standing, and comparing the differences between them. If it's enough, they'll do further testing.

More likely than not, it's just a minor thing. Annoying, yes, but prevention of the above mentioned topics should help! :thumbsup:

I get those head rushes from time to time when I get up from laying down... Cant really remember when it started, but it was before I smoked. I'm in the best shape of myself, very athletic, low heart rate when I'm idle, but I still get those head rushes..

I've never lost complete sight from smoking, but there was one time it got very fuzzy and I needed to sit for 5. It went away and never came back.

In my opinion, if you wanted to continue smoking just do it in moderation. Instead of getting really stoned, just get a bit high ... if that makes sense haha. IE avoid gravities. You could also choose a mellow strain, with a low % of sativa.
