Okay, so I did end up going to the doctor. I told everything that happened, sans the smoking pot before hand, and she was truly worried. She said it could be a medical phenomenon that occurs in some people. The blood vessels dilate, restricting blood and oxygen flow to the brain causing the aforementioned symptoms. It was my first time seeing this doctor, recently turning 18 I had to switch from a pediatrician to physician. My ped was always cool about me smoking pot and I was truthful with her with everything I did. I thought my physician would be cool with it too. So after going through my symptoms and deciding she would refer me to a neurologist, she starting asking the normal lifestyle/health questions. She asked me if I smoked pot and I told her the truth....big mistake. She immediately changed her mind about referring me and began blaming the pot. However, she couldn't tell me what about the pot was doing it. All she could say was "It's definitely the marijuana." When I brought up what I've read about pot causing blood sugar to drop, she says," I don't know about that, but it is the pot."... wow....so I still have no real answers....lame
