Hello,

As you have mentioned you are smoking weed and get panic attacks. These panic attacks can be due to weed consumption. I suggest you to stop weed if possible go to the de-addiction center and start on treatment. For your swelling in the throat, it may be a lymph node. Get it checked by ENT specialist doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Prashant Gohil
