MD alright... i had a very scary night a few days ago and i havent been able to shake it yet and i need some insight. first off ... i smoke everyday. ok thursday night i got out of work hung around at my house for a little then went over my gf s like everyother night. i was feeling a little strange but that happens from time to time(stomach was off). Around 10pm i smoked a bowl. With in 10 to 15 minutes i started feeling really weird. I began to shake alot(i do this when i get really hi but never as bad as i did this night). It was worring me because i couldnt really stop, i could stop it for short periods but then it felt like my legs and were falling asleep.... then my heart started to hurt(i dont know if it was my heart but it was right around my left pec area). Shortly there after i noticed that my heart beat had increased drasticaly but was trying to stay calm. Id had similar symptoms before while hi but never this bad and no heart hurting. I then spent the next hour or two infront of the toilet dry heaving(i assume because the weed stops you from throwing up). During this period i was feeling very warm and slightly feint. Nothing was coming up and i had somewhat stopped shaking so i went back to my gf s room and laid down for a bit. As soon as i laid down i started shaking again, i rolled to my left side and my stomach started feeling really shitty again. I ended up throwing up a bit.... by 1230 or 1 pm it had all kinda gone away, i still didnt feel great but i felt significantly beter so i went home and went to sleep. I woke up the next day feeling fine but as the day went on i just felt really off ... for the first hour or two that i was at work i started felling really shitty again, but it went away. I slept pretty good that night and avoided the weed just incase. Then yesterday i was feeling off again all day. When my gf got out of work i went over to her house and we watched iron man... during the movie i started feeling really crappy and was rather paranoid, i kept feeling my heart thinking it was going fast again but i have no idea if it was or if im just overacting as a result of what had happened before. I started feeling hot again but i just dealt with it. As soon as the movie was over i went home and as i lay in bed i kept getting hot again and feeling really weird(heart beat included)... it took me forever to fall asleep and my head was going crazy thinking about what could posibly be going on. i need help, if anyone can give me info about this i would greatly appreciate it. I checked online and i found that weed raises the heart beat in the first hour but mostly in the first 15-20 minutes, also the major problems that night more or less went away once i came down which made me think there connected but then the past 2 days are really confusing me.... as i type this saturday morning(it happend wed night) i still feel really weird and i just want to know im alright. if you were willing to put up with that wall of text and gave me some help ... thank you very much. if it matters i took some tylenol that first night but i dont think it did anything... is there anything OTC that i can take to help if it happens again? ive been smoking this same weed for 2 or 3 weeks and i smoked less that day then any other day normally i smoke 2 or 3 bowls of it. I hadnt been feeling crappy for days at the time i just started feeling that way maybe 15 minutes before this all happened. Also i try thinking about other things... it doesnt work. also i checked my temp today when i woke up and its normal
MD Hey there, before I say anything, I d like to apologize for how scrambled up this message will be I hope it makes sense haha. Hi, I used to do meth. And it was fine back then. And then I quit for a while, and eventually ended up being prescribed adderall instant release (2 30mg a day twice daily for two years)took two weeks off of it every month. my tolerance skyrocketed so I d usually take more and run out anyways. It seemed to start affecting me with almost every negative side affect you can refer to but I d became healthy again after two weeks and couldn t resist getting my next prescription once the day came. It got worse every time. Including one month where I only slept every two days constantly in that pattern. My heart rate goes up wayyyy fast and sometimes I d feel like I was gonna have a seizure or something and my veins shrink incredibly thin. My skin changes color, and the month before I gave them up i was losing all my energy. I d feel motivated, but my body would just feel like a worked my ass off the day before and I d get short of breath instantly. I normally have an endless supply of stamina and at this time just bending down would make my heart beat so thick and slow like it was going to stop.(I ve always been able to feel my pulse you can even look at my stomach and watch it wave with every heart beat. ) my eyes and head would get feeling like there s just a bunch of fluid behind them pushing fairly hard, I would get little tingly abrupt feelings around my abdomen and chest and I d look and it would visibly appear to be a very thin worm under my skin, once one even turned into a scabby like rash the next day. One time I pushed on an area on my chest where I felt that sensation and two squishy little bumps popped up under my collar bone and then disappeared after I freaked out haha(this crap would only happen when I was actually taking adderall so I didn t know what to think) and so on and so forth just a lot of damn weird and crappy side affects. I eventually quit going to refill my prescription(two months ago) and been healthy. But last week I had meth right in front of my face, thought oh I used to do it occasionally I ll be okay But right off the bat my circulation was so damn bad I could not help myself for nothin. I d have to start doing push ups.. the circulation problem just comes and goes when it wants but it s usually always happening now(it s happening rightttt now, the left side of my heads even tingling, and ohh, wait my chest hurts now, but I think it s going away. The last few days I ve had some very sharp very abrupt pains located right where I can feel my pulse on my temple. It s scary as Hell. My vision even gets weird when it happens sometimes. This shit, I truely hate it. I ve been doing it almost every day since last week and everyone keeps telling me I m fine(I m in shape and young so they think nothing of it) so that just makes me feel like I can keep doing it. I need to know and be told this will kill me if I don t stop.. otherwise I won t. Don t make anything up either haha I ll know if you are.;) I just wanna know what s wrong with my body. Why is my body not wanting to cooperate with any type of amphetamine anymore? I eat everyday, a lot, and I sleep alright but not like I should. I drink plenty of water. I get exercise.. this even happened when I was doing construction today. I only smoke the stuff. Huge freakin clouds too my lungs and throat get pretty congested and I hack up super thick white crap(if I can even get it out of my throat) that stuff takes a good hacking to move. So,anyways yeah muscle spasms poor circulation heart rate spikes and slows between a pretty fair margin. I also smoke a pack of Marlboro Reds every day. I usually smoke a lot of weed but lately doing that with meth puts me in a circulation episode my lip will even tingle and get STIFF if I m sitting in a car. My heart right now is beating just under three times a second so I d guess 150-180 and I ve just been sitting in bed kinda lethargic. This rate is comfortable to me at this point, not even kiddin. But yeah sorry for this scrambled ass message there s just so much it s hard to put in good writing haha and I m sure there is a lot I forgot to tell you.
MD I used to smoke weed everyday for about 2 years straight with no problems then i tried that k-2 shit and i started freaking out and my heart was racing so fast i couldent control it. after about 8 months of not doing anything (because i scared myself so bad i tried weed again and felt exactly how i did when i smoke that k-2 stuff my heart was racing and i felt like i was going to have a heart attack. My arms were going numb and then i went for a walk which calmed me a bit (after pacing up and down my friends driveway taking in deep breaths with my heart on my chest for a half hour), but the thought juts kept creeping in my mind about my heart and i couldent get rid of it. This now happens even when im sober ( I really think that i have just scared myself so bad and that its all psychological) but any advice would be great!

MD Hello ! I am a 38 year old female. I have been having really bad dizziness for almost 12 years now. It started with a vertigo attack out of the blue in 2000 . I had not been sick prior to this and was in good health. After the vertigo attack I was left with a rocking sensation and general off balanced feeling.This was all day every day to some degree. Smetimes it was bad and sometimes I could handle it. I would lay in bed at night and feel like I was on a ship out at sea. The doctors thought it was anxiety but I knew my body and knew this was not from anxiety. I had many blood tests for diabetes , thyroid, anemia and others to check for deficiencies and many others. I had ultra sounds of my heart, ekg s, blood test s to check heart enzymes , liver function and kidney function. I had an EEG also. All of these tests came back normal. I had a c-scan of my head and neck and also a MRI. They did find a small meningioma tumor in the right front lobe of my brain but said that it was benign and was not anything to worry about. I then saw a neurologist who said he didn t think it was brain related. I then went to an ENT and had the ENG and other test done. He determined I had menieres disease due to symptoms and an abnormal caloric test. I started vestibular rehab and felt better after a while. I still had dizziness everyday all day but it was much more bearable and I got on with life again. The last eight months symptoms have came crashing back really bad again. It started with me being really tired and way dizzier then normal. I was under a tremendous amount of pressure at work and just every day life. When it got really bad I was driving home from a restaurant with my kids. We had just went out to eat and it was Asian food, which I know is packed with sodium and causes issues with people with menieres disease. Anyway, I was driving back and started feeling really tired and kept yawning. I then felt really bloated and like my jeans were too tight. So I felt like I couldn t breathe well and kept yawning over and over. I then started feeling like I may pass out. I stopped at the red light and put my car in park just in case I did. Well it passed after a minute so I continued home which was only a few blocks away. When I got out of the car I felt really shaky and weak and just wanted to lay down. My mom checked my sugar levels and it was a little high, like 180. SO I layed down and thought it was the food, For the next few weeks I felt really tired and still dizzy but not the passing out feeling. Then one night at work a really overwhelming tired feeling came over me and I fet like I was going to pass out again. They called the emergency department and they transported me to the hospital. I hadn t ate much that day and they thought it was because of that because all of the blood tests, ekg, and chest x-rays came back normal. I kept being really tired and dizzy and I finally had to quit work and even give up driving because every time I drove I would feel dizzy and weak. I went back to the ENT and he redid the ENG and everything came back normal this time.He said he thinks I still have menieres but isn t sure if that is what it is since testing was normal this time. I had another MRI, which was no different then the last one. I am just not sure where to go from here and I don t really think my doctors know either and are chalking it up to anxiety. I know that I do have anxiety but it is caused by the way I feel. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Medicines - Lotrel for HBP - controlled on medicine. Have been on for years.
