Getting Up In The Night Covered In Sweat And With Headache. Could This Be Due To Drug Use Or Diet Related? Have Marijuana Addiction

hi, last night i had a series of terrifying nightmares . The strange thing about them was, within the dream, i could not stop my body from spinning around in circles. the dream chanced location many times and in the end i worked out it was a dream, but i could not wake up from it and my dream was just a constant swirl because of the circles i was doing. i woke up eventually, covered in sweat, and with a very painful headache . could this be diet related? or substance related? i smoke marijuana every now and then.

Hello
It would be wrong to attribute everything to cannabis.. No one can tell it with 100% confidence what was the cause but cannabis intake do cause change in the sleep pattern....if you are experiencing these dreams frequently than we can associate your symptoms to weed... But on the basis of just one incident nothing can be confirmed....also on the basis of the fact that cannabis cause panic attacks and in it people have extreme sweating we can suggest that you had a panic attack ...but not with conformity....take care
