Swollen Face And Eyes After Smoking Weed. Pressure In The Chest, Breathlessness. Am I Allergic To Weed?

Hi, the last 2 times I smoked weed had me really sick. The first time my ear, eyes and parts of my face swelled up, I started feeling a lot of pressure on my chest and felt like I couldnt breathe. I started feeling dizzy, not the floaty high you get after smoking, I couldn't see straight and dozed in and out trying not to blackout. my body was shaking uncontrollably and I would get really bad muscle spasms in my neck. Am I allergic to weed

Hello
Welcome to HCM

You developed sickness after smoking weed. You got swelling in face and ears, chest tightness, chest pains, difficulty in breathing along with dizziness, tremors and muscle aches. Most likely you suffered these symptoms due to hypersensitive reaction of content of weed. Even toxic doses of cannabis may cause such symptoms. I would advise you to please stop taking weed in future as severe hypersensitivity may cause death also.

Thanks
