double checking if its anxiety or something else

[Johnnie1234]

what is the different between physiatrist and nurgrolist? just asking just wanted to check because ever sense i smoked weed i had effected me just wanted to make sure my brain is good something didnt happen because my nerves are really serious always shaking my vision feels wierd aswell as always everyday

[skyfil]

Physiatrist is someone who would deal with like the treatment plan and a nerologist is someone who would examine the problem that is brain or nerve related and diagnosis you.

[Johnnie1234 in reply to skyfil]

Ok thank you would you think i should go to a nerologist but i been to hospital and they say its anxiety i went to alot of times to hospital do you think might need a cat scan

[skyfil in reply to Johnnie1234]

I've to been to the hospital constantly thinking that i have more than anxiety. What are your symptoms that make you want to get a CT scan?

[Johnnie1234 in reply to skyfil]

because its like always feeling a trigger on my head its like when i listen music loud and am singing or something i feel this wierd feeling then my heart start racing out of no where but when i feel that fingling i feel like my head tingling or something is just strange

[skyfil in reply to Johnnie1234]

Yea thats anxiety, its the nerves in our body. Am dealing with the samething. In addition to that i feel like my bodies vibrating and am constantly shaking. But that crawling/tingling feeling is becuase of the anxiety and then because of the weird feeling your heart starts to race.

[Johnnie1234 in reply to skyfil]

Yeah am sorry i might be annoying always posting stuff but sense this is my first time i never expericed this feeling soo its like aswell sometimes it hard to explain i been having this for two months already ever sense i smoked weed but does it invovled aswell your vision ?

[skyfil in reply to Johnnie1234]

Yea anxiety can cause blurry vision but, if you need to put your mind at ease, you can always check with the nerologist but you would have to go to a private one. Hospitals tend to not help so much unless its urgent. I find that having a test puts you mind at ease that its only the anxiety, but then you will constanly find something wrong with your body and thats alot of money being wasted. With anxiety it makes you aware of any little thing that happens in your body. If you need someone to talk to or anymore questions. Feel fee to ask away.

[Johnnie1234 in reply to skyfil]

Yeah i have a private one tommarow she wants me to go its my first time meet her but am just pranoid with all these feeling i get always feel like body is sore like i hit the gym but i havent like always at night my arms and legs chest pains aswell

[skyfil in reply to Johnnie1234]

I wish you the best with your appointment. It always helps to know for sure. Anxiety has MANY symptoms. It causes weakness,fatigue,pain,headaches,makes you feel like your vibrating or get a tingling feeling.

Best of luck Hopefully it puts your mind at ease.

[Agora1 in reply to Johnnie1234]

I understand Johnnie. Been through that myself years ago. I did see a physiatrist, but like skyfil said, it was more of a treatment plan. I found myself in a chair having a stretching device under my chin that pulled and let go for 20 min. I was freaking out, actually fighting the machine lol

Next step was a neurologist who did the office tests for signs of brain/muscle/nerve issues and then I was given an MRI. It boiled down to anxiety once more but at least it cleared up a lot of "what ifs" for me.

It's your body, you have every right to take care of it and feel better.

[Johnnie1234 in reply to Agora1]

yeah am just worrying alot this feeling am just trying to enjoy my life but for a minute i thought something was about to happen was just feeling on my head with tingling like rushing and my heart started pounding fast

[Agora1 in reply to Johnnie1234]

Johnnie, your heart pounding fast is the aftermath of feeling that rush and tingling in your head. I know because I have gotten it many times in front of this computer. It would come over me suddenly, strong enough to send my head forward and have me hang onto the desk until it passed.

I have never told the doctor about it. I feel it has something to due with the immense tightness in my neck which I feel might impinge on a nerve and cause that feeling. If I ever went to a neurologist, I would certainly mention it. I don't get it as frequently now so I would suspect that anxiety played a big part in it.

[Johnnie1234 in reply to Agora1]

Yeah i just feel like everything that triggering it its my head honestly am always feeling dizzy aswell blurry vision or feeling like my head is heavy am just scared dont want nothing really bad to happen to me still young and tryna live my life

[Agora1 in reply to Johnnie1234]

I know you are young Johnnie but Anxiety knows no age. We all feel the same symptoms, it's how we handle it when it happens that differs.

[Johnnie1234 in reply to Agora1]

Yeah you right do drinking effect your anxiety?

[Agora1 in reply to Johnnie1234]

I don't drink Johnnie, but that's a personal decision. Never drink when on anti-anxiety or anti-depressants. Not a good combination. As for drinking in general when on no meds, alcohol tends to dehydrate you and can cause some head feelings. Best then to make sure you have a glass of water for every drink you have..

[Johnnie1234 in reply to Agora1]

Alright then so i shouldnt worry about these feelings or sympthoms ?

[Agora1 in reply to Johnnie1234]

Johnnie, all you describe does sound like anxiety but because of getting these symptoms after smoking weed it's best to follow up with a neurologist. Then you will know, once and for all, exactly what is causing these symptoms.

[Johnnie1234 in reply to Agora1]

Yeah ama see one tommarow but thanks alot for being here for me 🙌🏻💯

[Agora1 in reply to Johnnie1234]

Oh that's good. Let us know what the doctor says. Good Luck Johnnie!

[Johnnie1234 in reply to Agora1]

Ok thank you i will 💯🙌🏻

[rpg1982 in reply to Johnnie1234]

Yeah, I stopped drinking because of this.

[mdooms in reply to Johnnie1234]

Johnnie, don't drink! That is my best advice I can give you. Agora1 is right. When you take any benzodiazepines(xanax, etc) and or SSRI's ( Anti Depressants) don't drink. The reason is will mess up your brain. Causes the adrenals to kick in and you never relax. This is because alcohol and marijuana help produce GABA. This is a relaxing chemical. But once you quit the alcohol and or marijuana, your brain goes haywire because it depended on it. It takes alot of time for the brain and body to heal.

[Johnnie1234 in reply to mdooms]

But am not on any medication i been trying to control it myself i have medication but i havent took any yet

[mdooms in reply to Johnnie1234]

What medication did they prescribe to you?

[Johnnie1234 in reply to mdooms]

proxetine 10mg

[mdooms in reply to Johnnie1234]

Is that for anxiety

[Johnnie1234 in reply to mdooms]

Yeah it is

[mdooms in reply to Johnnie1234]

I would take it. It will help your symptoms.

[Johnnie1234 in reply to mdooms]

But should i double check with the head docter aswell ?

[Johnnie1234 in reply to mdooms]

just to make sure nothing happen with my brain or something after smoking that day?

[mdooms in reply to Johnnie1234]

Yes. Do that first.

[mdooms in reply to mdooms]

Have you told your first doctor you smoked marijuana?

[Johnnie1234 in reply to mdooms]

when i went to the emergency the first time

[mdooms in reply to Johnnie1234]

I would let all of your doctors know this. How many times did you smoke marijuana?

[Johnnie1234 in reply to mdooms]

i was smoking weed for about two or three years and around thanks giving you know it hit me really hard and i been this way for two months like during those years you know every i would smoke sometimes my hesrt beat fast and i wasnt paying no mind to it but now idk why it really hit me hard but been to hospital do blood work alot of times went to heart docter everything is normal they that i have anxiety disorder but right now at the the moment am at the neorologist

[mdooms in reply to Johnnie1234]

Ahh, this now makes sense. You are going through withdrawal. This is why you are having these symptoms. Tell your neurologist what you did and how long. There are meds that can assist during the withdrawal period. Remember when I told you it's anxiety? Well it is and plus the withdrawal. The withdrawal process causes severe anxiety and symptoms. But the good news is, your brain and body will heal. It takes a lot of time. Trust me. Been there and did that with 2 years of beer drinking. Had every symptom you have plus some. It will get better. But don't smoke it anymore or replace it with alcohol and other drugs.

[Johnnie1234 in reply to mdooms]

Alright so ama tell them what really happen am here now i should see the docter soon and hopefully yes it eill go away

[skyfil in reply to Agora1]

The same thing happens to me and sometimes it happens back to back...but when i feel it happening i try to calm down and that helps sometimes. But now am dealing with a constant shortness of breath But hopefully I can get my body to relax soon.

[Johnnie1234 in reply to skyfil]

yeah yo thats really crazy because sometimes i feel

that aswell like am like whats going on i cant breath sometimes like i dont believe is anxiety sometimes i get mad and want to curse out the docter or something like how if i feel these things physically all the time

[skyfil in reply to Johnnie1234]

I ALWAYS wanna fight my doctor, i tell him it has to be more to this than anxiety. But I've learned to accept that its the anxiety and when my mind trys to make up wreid situations....I just constantly tell myself am fine and its only "anxiety". So am trying to relax more and stop wasteing my money and making my doctor rich.

[Johnnie1234 in reply to skyfil]

Yeah i been going to docters all the time the last one is this one to make sure my brain is alright

[daveeb]

Could it possibly have anything to do with the weed , being that it started since the beginning of taking it ?

[Johnnie1234 in reply to daveeb]

Yeah after that one day i just been getting at these sypthoms but my friend that i was smoking with he was perfectly fine it was just me panicking that day and my heart racing and feeling like a trigger on my head already got two months feeling like this
