**Normally when I get high I feel as if things are moving sort of, or that I am.**(not sure if its because I smoke too much or what)

I am 5'6" 105lbs.... and I get sick easily and have a weak stomach, and have a heart murmur but its minor, nothing to worry about.

*Okay so I was smoking I guess out of a bong/bubbler when before I used a pipe, but I don't like it anymore. First, I'll tell you another story, I was high and fine for a while then I had to puke, and I did... this time was different and soo horrible!!(Used pipe.)


*With the bong/bubbler* It was night and I was hungry and wanted to eat but of course I smoked first.(Cause last time I puked*) I was in my patio with my boyfriend and friend.... everything was fine although I was standing pretty much the whole time. After a little bit I felt like I was going to puke... I wanted to go inside, my boyfriend didn't want me to, he was gonna take me outside and we were about to go when I guess I started stumbling so he took me by the door and was looking at me, holding me and the feeling of puking was going away and my head sort of started to hurt like it was throbbing sort of like blood was rushing to it, or as if it was falling/had fell asleep. Felt like little needles were poking my brain... it hurt a lot. And things were moving of course, but super fast now and I was standing fine and all the sudden my body went limp and my boyfriend had to pick me up and I felt him pick me up and then everything was gone.... like I had fallen asleep.... except worse! My boyfriend carried me all the way to the sofa(about 10-15ft away) and I woke up right away I guess and I was tripping because I was scared but yet everything was normal again, like he wasn't moving.... OH YEAH AND when I woke up felt like my ears were ringing like I heard the ocean or something. I drank a lot of water and just chilled for a bit.... but I tried to get up and shit was so dizzy again. I am not sure if I passed out or what that was but I would like some info and advice.... and until I feel safe I do NOT want to smoke again.....

My friend said that I just fell back as if I was playing trust(where you fall back info your friends arms) and that my eyes were OPEN and they just looked like a blank stare.

I almost did last night but I just looked at it and didn't want it anymore.

I got systems of panic attack and anxiety attack and I will check which ones I had.
*=Had it
^=A little

Panic Attack:

• "Racing" heart
• Feeling weak, faint, or dizzy^(Cause when I'm high things move.... so not sure... wasn't really dizzy or anything though.)
  
• Tingling or numbness in the hands and fingers(I had tingling, but in my head not hands.)
• Sense of terror, of impending doom or death
• Feeling sweaty or having chills
• Chest pains
• Breathing difficulties
• Feeling a loss of control*(because of not being able to stand but it wasn't a feeling, I just COULD NOT move)

Anxiety Attack:

• • Palpitations^(I don't know but b/f said my heart was racing face when I woke up but I think that is because I was scared when I woke up because I didn't know what happened or when the fuck I got to the sofa.)
  • Sweating
  • Trembling
  • Shortness of breath
  • Sense of choking
  • Chest Pain
    
  • Nausea*(I'm assuming that was the wanting to puke feeling, but it was only for a couple seconds, it went away.)
  • Dizziness ^Again, not really because it doesn't feel like being dizzy feels.
    
  • A feeling of being detached from the world (derealization)
  • Fear of dying
  • Numbness or tingling*(In my head)
  • Chills or hot flushes

HELP! Did I have one of these or did I just pass out from smoking too much, or something else? Or maybe I was dehydrated because I was downing that water(which I normally don't drink a lot of.) but I think it was just cause I was thirsty cause the cotton mouth.

i have no idea about what may have caused that attack, i dont think anyone on this forum would be able to tell you for sure what happened, i would be most concerned about the pain in your heart that you felt, i would recommend that if at all possible see your doctor and talk to him about it, do not leave out any details, until you have talk to your doctor i would not recommend smoking, i dont think that it was either a panic attack or anxiety attack since neither seem to fit the picture quite right, im sure you did have a panic attack or anxiety attack after the fact but that does not seem to be the cause of you passing out like that

akara

Thanks. I didn't have pain in my heart/chest.

Were you moving around a lot or just standing?

Sounds like a possible case of "not getting enough blood to your brain". Your muscles were becoming relaxed from the cannabis and, for those of you that don't know, you veins don't have any pressure in them it's all a system of valves and muscle movements pretty much, so you blood was sitting in your feet. This would easily cause you to faint, and would explain why you woke up so fast since you weren't vertical anymore.

Your body works like this, your heart pumps blood out through your arteries, but then after they switch over to your veins there is no more pressure from your heart pumping, so the blood is moved back to your heart from muscle movements we make, as well as our breathing. In my experiences, the eyes will typically close, but not always. It is possible it is something else, but this is the easiest ruling I can make, and in many cases it would be the most likely.

feeling weak, faint or dizzy is obvious to fainting.
The tingling in your head could be contributed to it not getting enough oxygen, and almost always occur with fainting
As well as everything else.

as an EMT arriving at your house if I was called, it would probably be my first assumption (depending on if you were just standing), however I can't rule out something else.

Try sitting next time and take it easy, or consult a doctor first.

This is the best explanation I have for that based just on what you've told us.

When I was smoking I was just standing. Thanks.

Also, I don't think it was an anxiety or panic attack. Nor a heart attack or stroke. Not enough common symptoms.

but I'm just an EMT, not a Dr. (yet..)

chadwick

o my bad, i thought i had read that in the post

akara

No, cause only my head hurt not chest or arms or anything. I probably just fainted. Hope anyway.

akara

No, my head was hurting.

I also get a little nausiated through a bong, so try a joint/pipe, it works beter for me. It sounds like you just had a little too much to smoke, smoke a bit less next time.
