What Are The Ill Effects Of Smoking Cannabis?

Hi my name is kyle, I am 19 years old. All my problems started about a month ago when i was smoking cannabis, ive been smoking it for a year prior to that night. After smoking it with one of my friends i felt really odd and my heart was racing as well as cold and hott chills all over my body... i was shivering and sweating at the same time and had random pain everywhere... I also could not breath or swallow... it was terrifying, and after consulting my mom we went to the emergency room... ( the nurse said i was having close to a clinical heart attack) we found out it was possibly laced with meth... after that night i had cramping feelings in specific spots around the breast bone and around armpit and ribs.(which i still have just not as often) On the next 2 weekends i went back into the emergency room where i was experiencing what the doctors thought where panic attacks... I can handle the panic attacks but ive also been having palpitations ever since where it feels as if my heart doubles its beat for a second then takes one big beat that is very noticeable and followed by what i can only explain by comparing it to if someone was to jump out and scare me.( like coming from my stomach to chest area).... even more recently, i been having random poking pains or pinching in chest area but its not overwhelming and goes away within the min. Another is twitching in my muscles everywhere.

The doctors prescribed me atenolol but i stopped taking it because it seemed to give me more pain and other sensations that where just as scary... i feel fine except the palpitations are still here and after a heart holster monitor... a million ekg's and blood tests there still isnt an answer..... o also my middle finger on left hand is numb from middle knuckle up to top.. as well as swollen. i dont know if it has anything to do with it but that started today.... also my veins bulge out of my forearms sometime..

Its soo frustrating and i feel as if it has taken control over everything i do... my activities my relationships and my job... thank you for your time
