Brief Answer:
Hello again

Detailed Answer:
First of all apologies for the delayed response.

From the medical details provided by you it looks more of a neurological issue rather than cardiac.

Just take rest for a couple of days.

Avoid cannabis totally.

Healthy fibrous and protein rich diet.

And consult your neurologist once.

Don’t worry you will be fine.

Regards
Dr Bhanu Partap
