YaHooka Forums - View Single Post - Unusual heart rate, terror, disphoria. Why is this happening to me?

I apologize in advance if this has been asked, as well as answered in the past. I searched the forums and found nothing. I just have to ask this though.

I've been acquainted with cannabis for a whole year now. Every time I had used it before, bad experiences weren't very frequent. Most of my experiences were euphoric and pleasant, and I felt "enlightened" after every session. It's different anymore, though.

For the last 3 times I've smoked, it's been the same every time. My heart rate is unusually fast, and unusually strong as it feels like it's beating irregularly. My lungs feel weak, and I find it difficult to draw air. I have severe cotton mouth, and to top it off, I can't un-tense my back muscles, and they feel "hot" from being so tense. Despite the fact that my muscles feel hot, I begin shivering the way a person would in 10 degree weather and I can't get "warm" no matter how much I put on or how many covers I use.

Those are the physical symptoms. The mental symptoms include intense anxiety / fear. The fear itself is mainly focused on the state of my body while this happens. I have thoughts like I'll stop breathing, or my heart will stop beating ( or a heart attack will occur ), and essentially, that I will die.

I am not an every-day smoker. Once a week, or once every 3 days at that. I only smoke with my friend. However when we smoke, he makes me take more hits than I'm comfortable with. This makes me believe that it may be the result of too much THC at once that causes this state of mind / body. It's been said that the cannabis I've used in the past 3 sessions is significantly potent ( probobly hydro ). I begin feeling stoned after one good hit.

I really don't want to quit smoking, but I really do want input from experienced folks who know a lot about THC. Is it just too much THC? Am I developing a condition? Is it just THAT particular type of cannabis that is doing this to me? Why does this happen to me? Any thorough explanation will be appreciated. Please, I need answers. Thank you.

edit : In case this info would help, I smoke cigarettes regularly ( nicotine dependency ). Would this tie in?
