Did I have a stroke?

Doesn't sound like it, you experiencing a stroke, the symptoms can mean a lot of things, but what you have mentioned fits in with what a lot of panic / anxiety symptoms, Naturaly if I was you I'd be seeking advice from your doctor so that he / she can give you the once over to make sure nothing sinister is happening.

Now what I'm abourt to say may upset different kinds of people, I'm only going on what doctors inform us here, I haven't personally  experienced the "whoopy weed" . It can actually cause panic attacks even though you may feel quite good, and is a known causitive factor in schizophrenia more so when the person smokes them like a tobacco smoker smoker, if that makes sense ? best way I can put it, if a tobacco smoker smokes 20 cigarettes a day, And the person that smokes 20 joints a day are at a very high risk of developing schizophrenia, I don't know if marijuanna is addictive or not like nicotine but "apparently " there are some properties in the marijuanna that  can cause pyschological problems.

If you are back on the "weed" I'd try and stay off it and see what happens, but of course still go to your doctor just to make sure, but what you have described doesn't  really fit for a stroke but weirder things have and do happen. 

 

Stroke is very possible.  I hope you went to the hospital. You didn't mention whether you did or not.You need a good doctor for blood work and tests. I'm not a doctor but I would run, not walk, to the nearest ER. 

If this kind of thing happens ever again, no not, DO NOT go in the shower to calm down, you could have passed out or had a fit, collapsed, hit your head (more head injuries happen in bathrooms because there are MANY hard edge/corners to hit heads on!) Nor to mention the slippery effects of water/soap!!!

I think your body just told you to stay off the weed, sunshine! I'm with the others... SEE A DR, GET CHECKED OUT. It's most likely a warning, but don't take any chances, I doubt that it was anything like a stroke, but if it was something serious you need to see a doctor!

Thanks for the replies.

I did not go to the hospital. It's been about 3 weeks now since it happened and I haven't smoked anything besides cigarettes.

I just read the symptoms and I suppose a panic attack could be very likely. But it would have had to have been caused by the stress and weed, because I am a laid-back, very relaxed type of person.

I just figured since my ears haven't stopped ringing that it was something more serious, like a mini stroke. And also since those types of problems run in the family. Grandma died of a stroke, grandpa of a heart attack, and my father has an aneurysm.

Would a panic attack cause my ears to ring all the time, even after it happened?

Hi. You are doing the right thing taking actions instead of worrying. Let the docs worry for you, they get paid big bucks. Listen to them. My experience since my stroke, and heat atrack, is that I wish I had a nickel for all that wasted time worrying!  It takes awhile to realize that you got to live life for each day only. If you are reading this, then you are still here, right? First pot is very very very strong these days. One small hit with your low resistance can be a big hit. Ringing in the ears, tinnitus is very common. Most people dont even realize it, but you can get your ears checked for it. You get used to it. Anxiety can also get the best of you. Find a way that helps you learn how to work on that, meditation, medications, hobby, sunny weather a place only you like to go. There is a cost in living, and it aint money. One day at a time. Take action for what you can do, and accept you cannot. You will be fine,

I've experienced this before about 11 years ago. I was also into weed and I smoke cigarettes. I was eating with friends and smoking weed with it when I heard a ring on my ear starting to go loud and I felt like my chest is exploding like bump bump bump everytime my heart beats. I tried to wet myself with water and stay calm but it won't go away. And a minute after that, I immediately run to the ER without wearing any footwear and shirtless. I went over the bed and asked for assistance with the staff hurrying to me. My BP was about 150/90 or above that. Then they tried to ask me what happened and told them I was eating spicy foods which I was but didn't tell them I smoked a joint. I was sent to a bigger hospital and what was written in my case was a heartburn. To me. i think it was a panic attack came with hyperventilation. Last sunday, July 3 in the evening. I had a TIA-mini stroke. Because of family history. Smoking cigarettes (stopped weed 11 years ago). Lack of exercise and because of unhealthy diet. And or stress and staying late a lot. I'm 30 years old. You still have time. My blood lab results say I have high cholesterol. I'm already at home after 2 days in the hospital. I am taking Atorvastatin and Clopidogrel and I'm feeling dizzy and almost vomiting. You still have time. Go have a check up every year. At least you know what to expect and how to avoid it. Its better than surprises.
