I have had anxiety off n on since I was 19 so don't think that's why I have it. Been pretty much good with it until this happened. I really believe mine was from THC and getting up. Then knocking myself out. I'm not going to keep scaring myself. So need Positive feedback. I think Frink hit it on the head. Plus Nakamova
 
THC can do weird things to those of us with existing anxiety disorders, I smoked for the first time in ages about a year ago, passed out and when I came to I freaked out and now am suffering with daily panic attacks and an elevated level of anxiety. However I had epilepsy before I smoked it; I don't think that the THC brings on epilepsy (if anything in many cases marijuana can aleviate symptoms)

It's very likely you smoked too much and passed out, did your boyfriend notice any convulsing or any strange behaviour during this episode?
EEGs also can have abnormalities that don't necessarily mean seizures, they are far from definitive.

Your current situation seems a lot like mine, I'm also dealing with the fear of losing control and it's killing me. I hope you get some answers and hopefully there's nothing to worry about! It honestly does sound like what Frink said, an overtoke, haha! People really don't realise what weed can do to them mentally, this year has been pure hell since my experience in overtoking and I'm just working daily to rid my mind of this negative thought pattern.

No convulsing . Just stiffened body and clenched teeth. But I only stiffened for a moment, no jerking or convulsing. But now this GP Wants to do echo cardiogram and ekg ! Plus MRI . She said this Neuro whom I have never met wil not see me until they do these tests. I had ekg done twice two months ago ! Paramedics and hospital! But she said she wants one. I told her I do an hour on treadmill and was running six miles, their is nothing wrong with my heart!! All this is do is making my anxiety go thru the roof! Every time the phone rings I think what test now! It's a nightmare. I thought they checked your heart if ekg was bad both of mine were normal. But she threatens me with any see Neuro. My meds are upped because of the stress I am under. I wish I had never smoked that wax!! Putting myself thru the what ifs blood pressure going thru the roof . I started meditation called head space. It's an app on phone! Really good. I am afraid to drive so also having to bug BF for rides and he has to take off work and I have to hear it from him.. I don't live in the city , I have no public transponders. I'm more scared of bothering him then the tests!
 
I'm the same, hate having tests. My blood pressure is always through the roof when I go to the doctors, white coat syndrome they call it. I've got really bad health anxiety as it is. I'm sure your doctor is only trying to cover all bases to ensure he doesn't miss anything though, if you've had EKGs twice it's likely that there's nothing wrong and the test will be fine. My neuro did one after I had had two within the last couple of months, same results.

Headspace is a great app, I use it all the time. I have trouble going out alone, and since I can't drive have to rely on the bus for work so usually listen to that when I'm on the bus and it really does help.

Don't worry about bothering him, that's what they're there for.
 
What's DAB fags is it legal high cos that do something been spate of fatalities people smoking those thing.I tried few splits I was so ill think chemicals of Meds and that not good and legal high even worse.I not saint and if one wants solmke it then they adults but be carefull them things dangerous.
 
I agree! Which is why I don't smoke any more! Quit cold turkey that night. I was using wax just before bedtime but only for two months. I was smoking regular weed before bedtime all for anxiety. But nothing now. Yes it was legal bought from medical store.But done!Just taking anxiety meds now Dr has me on����
