freaking out

Ive been smoking since i was 14 im 18 now i had stopped for about 1 year because i got pregnant. I started again  about 6 months after giving birth, everything was fine i would feel relax when smoking weed. Well 2 weeks ago from today i would feel weird chest pain like in my heart felt like it would go fast then slow i felt like if i didnt move or smoking i was going to pass out after i smoked and two of the times i smoked i felt dizzy i would fall on the floor because i couldnt see i felt like i was really going to pass out i couldnt stand up because i would feel even more dizzy. But i kept smoking the next day like nothing happened i would feel weird but not that bad. And yesterday at like 9pm i went outside to smoke with my husband and i started to feel like preasher on my chest but i tried to ignore it and it wouldnt go away i then started to feel a really horrible pain so i told my husband i didnt want anymore and we went inside toke a shower and in the shower i kinda past out and fell and my husband was really freaking out he kept asking what was wrong and if i wanted to go to the hospital but i was soo dizzy i couldnt talk and the pain in my  chest got worse and i really felt like i was going to die i felt like i had a bubble in my chest and it was i felt my feet num and hands it was the worst feeling ive ever had in my damn life and the worst pain. I started to drink water and milk and it still wouldnt go away 30 mins. Later i told my husband to take me to the bed and layed down and felt a little better but my cjest pain was still bothering me i told gim i wanted to watch tv or do somthing that would keep me from thinking about the pain so i ate something and watched tv i felt much better but chest pain still didnt go away. So i layed back down and i was trying to fall asleep and right when i was about to fall asleep i would wake up feeling my heart racing and couldnt sleep i was like for about 30 mins. And feel asleep. Its 4 am right now and im up because my son dosnt want to sleep -_- and i feel super much better my chest feels weird but it dosnt feel like before... just so you guys know after this i dont want to hear or see feel or have anything to do with weed no more smoking after this...but if somwone has gone thru the some as me or something alike pleaseeee post!!!!

The same thing started to happen to me, so I quit smoking pot. Those panic attacks were horrible! It not uncommon for pot to turn on you at some point in your using. And from what I have heard from people, there is no turning back. Once pot starts causing anxiety you'll never enjoy using it again.  If you had a severe panic attack and your heart was racing, your chest can still hurt the next day. Unfortunately, the anxiety can continue even after you stop smoking. I encourage you to start meditation, yoga, or something to increase your relaxation. You want to get your mood stablished and not let the anxiety take hold.  If you do that and stay away from pot, you'll be fine. Ps, alcohol can also increase anxiety.

Hello and welcome. It seems like you could be having panic attacks or  anxiety.
Does it only happen when you smoke pot?
Many times pot as first can relax you. then after smoking for a while, a fee years it can cause paranoia and anxiety.
Don't smoke anymore and see if you feel better.
If it persists go to a doctor and be completely honest so you can
Get the best help you can.
Let us know how you are doing.
