Suggest Treatment For Panic Attacks After Smoking Marijuana

see doctor and counselor
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for consulting us. I am not sure why you started having panic attacks with the marijuana, but it is typical that patients can have some paranoia and anxiety with use of this drug. Panic attacks are a form of anxiety. If it persists you may need to see a doctor and get some medication and/or see a counselor. In the mean time here are some suggestions. Definitely do not use any more marijuana. Avoid alcohol and caffeine use as they can make panic worse. Do not take any kind of stimulant even decongestants. Try to do self calming and self soothing things as much as possible, whatever that is for you. Get outside and go for a walk, eat food that you like, spend time with friends. Do things that make you happy and take your mind off the panic. I hope the panic attacks are gone soon but if they are not be sure to see your doctor.


difficult to separate
Detailed Answer:
Hi, It is very difficult to separate the symptoms of anxiety from the symptoms of heart disease. The cardiologist can do tests to make sure that your heart is working correctly. If they say everything is fine then the symptoms you are having are probably due to anxiety. Then you would need to see a general doctor for treatment suggestions for that. Exercise and counseling can help as well. Remember that anxiety does increase your heart rate so it is not unexpected that you would have heart racing with panic attacks. I hope you are feeling better soon.
