Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I was at a club last night and had a few drinks, had a slight buzz and sat down to talk with a friend and have a few hits of his joint. I started feeling lightheaded with tunnel vision and within a minute, I suddenly fainted. I was told my jaw was locked up and my eyes rolled to the back of my head. A few minutes later, I was fine. This has happened to me once before, also after smoking weed. It was the same progression. I don t have a history of low blood pressure or fainting. It is a little concerning because I haven t had any issues before and I ve never seen it happen to anyone else.
I would explain that your symptoms could be related to epilepsy seizures or low blood pressure. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:
- A resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound
- An EEG
- Thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- Blood electrolytes for possible imbalances.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
