Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query dizziness with regular marijuana smoking habit is because Marijuana belongs to cannabis and this drug tends to produce intense excitation and may even precipitate psychosis in some individuals, leads to anxiety symptoms such as dizziness, increase heart beats and chest pain due to muscle spasm. You should not worry and take anti anxiety drugs such as Beta Blockers especially Propranolol or Atenolol can help to reduce your symptoms of severe palpitations. Avoid smoking marijuana in future as it may result in severe complications.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
