HELP PLEASE ! !

yesterday i took my bike (for the first time in a year) and went to het some cigarretes. i dont ussually exercise and i went pretty fast and in total (going and coming back) i biked for 20 minutes. when i got home, i drank a sip of water and took like 3 puffs from a marihuana joint (i live in the netherlands so its legal). i started feeling weird and i could feel my heart pounding in every inch of my body, so i stood up to get some air and my vission went black. i knew what was happening, i just couldnt see. i grabbed a stool and started shaking, but not like shivering, it was more as if i was convulsing, with continuing hard shakes. eventually it stopped and i sat on the couch and closed my eyes. after 10 minutes i stood up to go to my bed, and my vission got grainy and then black again. my head felt really warm and i was having cold sweats. the water i had had felt as if i had had a gallon of it and with every step i took i could feel it moving. I went to sleep and woke up ok. Does anyone know what happened?

You don't exercise and you smoke cigarettes, and then you go and have a short bout of hard exercise.  Probably blood rushing to your head, because you've been starving it of blood.  You need to quit smoking, which inhibits blood flow, and slowly start an exercise program to flush all this **** out of your system.  A good liver cleanse probably wouldn't hurt, either.

Sounds like you had a panic attack which was caused by the Marijuana.  If you look up on the internet anxiety and marijuana, you'll see that the two can go hand-in-hand.
