Hello again
Detailed Answer:
First of all apologies for the delayed response.
From the medical details provided by you it looks more of a neurological issue rather than cardiac.
Just take rest for a couple of days.
Avoid cannabis totally.
Healthy fibrous and protein rich diet.
And consult your neurologist once.
Don’t worry you will be fine.
