What Could Chest Discomfort And Vision Problem After Marijuana Intake Indicate?

Hi , i haven t been feeling myself for like about a month. This started when i took brownie with marijuana. I ate about half of it. I went walking to 7/12 right after and cane back. I ate hot cheetos with cheese and chili. I also drank Arizona. After that i masturbated and felt okay. Right after i started feeling a fast heartbeat and got scared. I immediately went to urgent care and they told me to go home and rest. I went to the doctor the next day again and said i probably have anxiety but because i disnt mention the brownie part. 2 weeks later i started getting this heavy crushing pain in my chest and went to the ER. The doctor said i might be nervous about college and need to workout. It kinda calmed down even though i didnt do any physical avtivity. The only thing he told me was that if i had pain in my stomache of any kind to go back. Next day i felt that exact pain i made an appointment with my doctor and she said to take tylenol and it night be a muscle. I took it and i felt weak and tired and dizzy. I called the nurse advisor and was advised to go to the ER. I didn t go as i slept it off and felt good. Last thursday i got home from school and felt very weak and sleepy. I also got that chest pain again and got scared. The chest pain continued but i felt with energy again. On sunday i almost went to the ER again but it seems like it kinda goes away if im busy. But yesterday i started feeling off balance, dizzy, light headed and as if my eye vision was changing. Again, chest pain is still there but now its a pinching pain. I called nurse advisor and was advised to go to ER or call again if started sweating or shaking. I slept it off and here today i feel even more lost in reality and my eyes feel heavy and dizzy. Im scared and dont know what to feel.

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, you have panic attacks and these attacks could be due to marijuana. In that case, for few days, you can take benzodiazepine in low dose. That would help to control such episodes and you would feel better. Try to avoid marijuana for next few months otherwise, it could trigger the episode. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
