Marijuana and Anxiety
Hi guys, i am new to this forum and i have a story to tell and maybe you guys can tell me whats going on with me.
I started smoking marijuana when i was 16 years old (I am now 20). I would smoke quite a bit and feel fine. Everything was fine and dandy until this past year. One day my brother and i were driving to work. He had rolled a joint and we smoked half of it on the way there and saved the rest of it on the way back. When i took a hit, and i mean lung-buster, i started feeling so weird. I could not catch my breath, and i had to tell my brother to pull over because i was freaking out. I decided that we go ahead to work. When we get there my heart was racing so fast it was unbelievable. My hands were tensing/clenching up; feeling numb and tingly and my eyes were twitching back and forth. after drinking some Gatorade and eating a little something, trying to calm my self and taking deep breaths, this all went away but felt so weak afterwards.
Ever since that first episode, i have had about 4 or 5 more like it this past year but please do note that this ONLY HAPPENS WEN I SMOKE MARIJUANA and it will go away about 30 minutes later.
It doesn't matter what strain i smoke, how i feel before smoking it, how much i smoke or anything.
Now a couple days ago, i hit a gravity bong of some reggie, and it triggered this again only this time the symptoms i mentioned above haven't gone away after stop smoking. I cant sleep, If i walk around or do anything strenuous my heart start to beat rapidly and occasionally palpitations in the heart and numbness and tingling in my legs and arms. I went to the Emergency Room last night and they said the EKG they took of my heart came back clean and my blood work was excellent other than some low potassium levels (which they gave me some potassium pills for that) basically they said there was nothing life threatening for them to keep me there. Does this sound like an anxiety or panic attack? or something else wrong with me? Somebody please help. i feel like this almost everyday since i took that hit of weed and i dont really feel much better. now but my brother gave me a quarter of a Zanex and it has given me the ability to type this right now without flipping the hell out. any ideas?DynastyOmen Reviewed by DynastyOmen on . Marijuana and Anxiety Ive been smoking non stop for about 2 years because of daily stress in my life and marijuan WAS helping but a few months back it caused me to have an anxiety attack, i was just sitting, relaxing and smoking and whamm! I started to get real scared, shake, sweat and couldnt calm down. I sat like that for about 6 hours and when it didnt go away I dragged myself to the ER. My blood pressure was very high and I was trembling an my palms were sweating like crazy, I couldnt focus on anything and Rating: 5
