Hello,
Your symptoms are likely due to the response of the body to intake of certain substances like drinks, coffee and thc. What happens is that after taking these substances, they release chemicals in the blood which reach the brain through blood supply. These chemicals are usually vasodilators and cause increased blood flow to the head region and this is appreciated as brain pressure, nervousness in you. It can also cause some amount of alertness and anxiety in certain people.
