Suggest Treatment For Dizziness And Vomiting After Taking Ganjua Smoke
Someone gave me a Ganjua smoke, Indian hemp, and I took many smokes, thinking that it will not do any change in me, as this has happened earlier. But after 15 - 30 min I started feeling dizzy, almost blacked out, went on vomitting, had a dry throat, bowels had to be cleared, and later went for an intravenous saline drip. Was afraid if it was a mild stroke, did not have any chest pain at all. But a sensation that the left chest is having some uneasyness remains with me for some days now. Perhaps it was panic reaction, or a mild stroke. Should I consult a physician, I prefer self healing how I am reluctant. Thank you and Regards Jay, Kerala, India

Hydration (water, maybe fruit juice, avoid caffeine) .. saline drip would be good but how do you get that without being seen by the physician ?!?
The continuing chest pain and other symptoms imply something in addition to the hemp was given (a stimulant); honestly, the quality control of abused drugs is scandalous! And this can easily have caused heart trouble which a simple exam EKG can evaluate somewhat (cost in the US about 100 dollars; inexpensive everywhere else), and an echocardiogram (expensive .. everywhere but least expensive in India) can evaluate very well.
