I shared a joint (weed + tabac) with a few friends about 2/3 weeks ago (my first time), and I'm scared because my body just doesn't feel right ever since.
Becasue I do have Obsessive-compulsive disorder and anxiety problems, the immediete hours following the smoke I just couldnt relax and paranoia began to hit me. I had a bit of a panic attack, during which I was disturbed to notice these tiny flashes or floaters in my vision and a slight loss of concentration in 1 eye.
Anyway,anxiety hit me BIG TIME the following week when I noticed this things were still in my field of vision ! I was absolutely terrified, an emotional wreck because I believed (still sort of do) that I had made a huge mistake and screwed up my vision and life for good. I started having periodic shooting eye pains as well which added to the anxiety. However, I went to the opticians and was given the all clear. After this I told myself to relax and began to feel a bit better.....the pain in my eyes eased up.
BUT.....in the 2nd week more symptons started to follow. I became light headed and weak, periodic earpain, changes in heart rate and had cold shakes many times during the day. I also began to experience chest pains and pressure on my head developed. It's been a horrible chain reaction, as the symptons intensified so did the anxiety and that led to me having horrible nightmares and difficulties getting a good nights sleep
.
I can't believe I'm saying this but my body shape is also slightly out of line. The head and neck are titled slightly away from body. And thats not something im imaging, because my friends have said that when they look closely they can spot it too. When I do force my body to align itself properly, I feel discomfort in my chest. The pressure on the head is still there, especially coming from the back. Sometimes when I bend down or I move my jaw when eating.....I don't know it's really difficult to explain but I experience pressure changes on my head and things just feel wrong.
I suppose my question is........is this sequence of symptons all to do with my stress/anxiety and my mind?.....Or has the marijuana created all or parts of this and messed up my body?
On a broader note.......should people like myself with OCD/anxiety brain chemistry smoke marijuana. Are the risks greater for us?

The marijuana most likely did not cause any vision impairment. It may have caused the immediate anxiety, but to still feel it after this long is definitely not the MJ.

I smoked weed everyday for the past two years. Then around a month ago or so ago I started having severe panic attacks. Increased heart rate, numbness, tingly, sweating and chills, it was a mess. Then I quit smoking cold turkey. Now I am having crazy headaches, pressure in my head in all kinds of areas and its always different every day. Seeing double sometimes, my left ear goes deaf.. I hear crackling in my head and it absolutely freaks me out. And on top of that I feel like it is causing my heart to freak out. I too have a weird popping sometimes from my jaw, and major discomfort in my chest and neck. I can't even sleep on my left shoulder anymore because it hurts my chest. In fact I can barely sleep at all anymore because I fear I will never wake up. The doctors keep saying it is anxiety but I have never had anxiety my entire life. Im 21, I'm in good shape, I'm in college and have really nothing to be "anxious" about. These symptoms are real and everyone thinks I am crazy. So you are not alone. Ive had blood tests, ekg's on my heart, and all I have left is a CT scan. It is miserable. It's ruining my life.
