I felt like I was dying.....

2 days ago I went to school stoned. (During finals by the way) I've been smoking for a while now. (about a year) and have never felt like this. My heart felt like it had almost stopped, my mouth wasnt producing any spit. My body felt like it was full with a liquid almost, like my heart had beated way to fast and put to much blood in my system. (Wierdest feeling ever!!!) I felt like i wasnt even in my body almost like it was just my brain nothing else. My ears were ringing so loud I couldn't even think. I felt like i was going to pass out and die. At one point I even prayed to god (first time in a while). I really thought I was dead. Anyway I've smoked a couple times since and that hasn't happened again. And I had only smoked one bowl and I felt like that. Any ideas on why this happened? It's never happened before...

 

I used to go to school EVERY DAY stoned off my ass for like three years and this never happened.

Do you usually get nervous while you take tests, especially big ones? If so that might be why, the weed just intensified it.

If you don't then I really have no idea.

 

I'd second the nervous thing, or maybe you forgot to eat and your blood sugar was off or you were dehydrated or?? There are too many variables.
Glad you're feeling better.

 

Panic attack, happened to me a few times. I thought I was going to die and I had all the same bs. All I had to do to stop them(I've had three, but not since a year or two ago) is lie/sit down and get some water. Pause my music and control my breathing... Within a few minutes you should be all better.

 

Yeah I think the main thing was was I couldn't drink because no ones allowed in the halls during finals. I also didn't have anything to eat. Hopefully next time I can calm myself down.

 

i agree with pushit 100% it was probably a panic attack

ive had them a few times and they are definitely not fun. funny enough last time i had one was way back in my senior year of high school on the first day, went into class and just freaked out

dont smoke before school for awhile, and if you start again just take it easy and only have a few hits

good luck man

 

Takes me back to last spring when I had to take finals for the last time, our teacher let us sneak to the bathrooms and stuff after we finished, but I disn't get the opportunity to that year cuz I came in an hour late(they started early, we usually get an hour to study(new rule) but I didn't know he would do that) I was super stoned and every classmate and the teacher new I was baked... I had water so I didn't have to worry about cottonmouth.

Sorry about the ramble, I just like to reminise about the good times

 

Well, for one thing, your body is full of liquid.

And your heart really cant put more blood in your systen, cause you only have so much.


I agree, it was most likely a panic attack.

 

And Sibbs, you're really cute. (assuming thats you in your sig)


And you have wonderful cheekbones.

 

Damn that sucks dude worst feeling in the world... Weed can be a bitch sometimes, it intensifies the happy but it can also intensify the shitty

 

Everyone has had one...I had to stop smoking because it became every high was a panic attack.. It wasnt a "I'm about to die" panic attack it was one of those social axiety types where you think about a whole lot of stuff and it drives you crazy. Although I have had a "I'm about to die" panic attack and it was SCARY AS FUCK. That had to be my worst panic attack on pot and I couldn't imagine being in school like that. I could'nt imagine being in school high either... being high would be embarassing with all those hott chicks around.

 

Never had a panic attack... ever.

 

I had an anxiety thing that happened while riding home on a busy street after smoking a really fat blunt at this dealers house, I felt like every person was watching me and I just had to retreat to a park immediately.

 

It's all good, man. You just had one bad experience with pot. All the things you described in detail are the symptoms of a panic attack. Those are completely harmless and there is absolutely nothing to worry about. I used to have severe anxiety problems and had panic attacks several times per day. It's all in your mind.

If you smoke in a good place with good people you'll be able to enjoy it. Good luck, man. Hope you get your problem figured out 'cause pot is a lot of fun.

 

Thanks guys. I got an A on the final I was taking at the time too.

 

Panic attacks sound minor, but they fuckin suck. Hope it doesn't happen to you again. As long as you smoke in a positive mindset and a chill place, you shouldn't have problems.

 

me neither... *knocks on wood*

 

Damn thats impressive. I use to always take my tests in high school ripped as shit, and think I would get an a or b on it. It'd always be a D or C.

 

yeah, I have panic attacks quite often when stoned. I get them just if I'm in the wrong environment.

 

You got high during finals. Case closed, you had a panic attack

marijuana is powerful enough that you should really carefully choose when and where you get high. This was your first, but I guarrantee it won't be your last. Now you've opened the doors of fear, and it may take you decades to close them again.
