I cannot stand for the faux ignorance of your doctors. They fleeced you or your insurance companies for this.
The common remedy for hypoxia is to breath into a paper bag for a few minutes, rebreathing your exhaled air in and out of the bag for 5 deep, regular breaths, alternate two or three normal breaths. Repeat this for 10 min or less and your anxiety and tingling sensation will go away.
Smoking cannabis, will help you sleep better, but will complicate, make worse, the symptoms of Hypoxia, as will any other respiratory pollutant, including smog, especially over decades of exposure.
Exercise, will help you sleep as well as the cannabis will. If not, then consider it's use carefully, like avoid smoking.
If you are serious about stopping your anxiety, at 22 years old, I recommend deep breathing exercises without smoke. Yoga, is good, tai-chi, and Combat Conditioning are also good options. Internet programs are available to teach you how to deep breath to stop the "tight" feeling in your chest without any medication.
