I am a 21 year old male. About four days ago I smoked some marijuana in the same fashion I have for almost 7 years. After smoking my heart began to race and I got lightheaded and disoriented (this has never happened before.) My increased heart rate lasted until I went to bed. Since than I have had this nagging discormfort in the left side of my chest. Sometimes it goes from a dull pain to only what I can desicribe as butterflies in my chest. I have smoked a pack of cigs every two days for the last four years. I've also done cocaine twice in the past year (the only times in my life) I have recently quit all smoking practices since my symptons have started. I have astmha and use albuterol when needed. I was previously diagnosed with a Hiatal Hernia two years ago and have been on pepcid since. Last night I went to the doctors and my heart rate, and blood pressure were normal.. Basically this is driving me absolutely insane.. When I am active or working out I don't I feel a thing.. but when I rest it is extremely annoying. I go to bed and wake up with this akward feeling. I have no history of anxiety either. WHAT CAN THIS BE?!?!?

Hi
I used to smoke alot of pot when I was younger and stopped because I used to get heart races when I used to smoke too. I think you had a panic attack bought on by smoking..... it used to happen to me all the time until I finally stopped smoking it.
Google 'panic attack' and 'chronic hyperventilation', maybe this will help. If you think these could explain your symptoms, mention them to your doctor.
Good luck
btw I'm not a doctor... just wanted to reply to your post as I've been in your situation and want to help.
