nothing is actually physically "wrong" with you its just your anxiety. anxiety is a mental health disorder with physical symptoms. ( to add to this as another previous user you should still see a doctor to double check you are not having actual physical problems not related to anxiety )Just smoked some today right after I ate, and I started having cramps in the left side of my chest and some slight/pain discomfort there too. I also got some discomfort in my left arm but I've managed to stay calm so far, I'm wondering does anyone know why this happen? Do I have some kind of rare condition that nobody has ever had before on weed? My heart is relatively good, when I was 16 I was told I had the heart of an athlete and the last few times I did check-ups they told me I should take vitamin C folicacid, other than that my heart was fine and looked pretty normal so I know it's not something with my heart. Could it be my stomach or lungs causing this? I've smoked cigarettes on and off since about 17 but I recently quit and switched to e-cigarette.
in really basic nutshell terms, when your brain gets triggered by your trigger (in this case when you smoke) your fight or flight response turns on , and from there your body reacts to it.
its a different feeling for lots of people the most common being symptoms of heart attacks. they are basically "phantom" pains however some people end up in the hospital because they react to the "false" pain they have and cause themselves damage .
i know you said you dont want to see a therapist but honestly you should really seek one out that works for you, you have to want to go of course in order for them to be successful. i know you said you have had problems with other counsellors etc. but a therapist or psychiatrist cannot do anything to do you for smoking pot. even if its illegal they cant put you in jail or anything
honestly man, take care of yourself i would at this point just stop smoking weed and get things together before trying again. it will just get worse and more out of hand (the anxiety)
the last thing you want is your anxiety to get so bad it starts happening when youre sober, and when you leave the house, and go outside. etc.
anxiety conditions spiral out of control very fast. and they will consume and cripple your life if you dont get a handle on it.
