anxiety issue !!!!!

Hi everyone, My name is Turki I'm 19. I first had a panic attack at a really young age when I was 12 or something. but last week I had really bad panic attack after I smoked weed, I don't smoke weed very often but that time I was kinda of at the last stages of having a fever. anyhow ever since that panic attack I experienced the worse days of my life. the first couple of days I was really paranoid of everything. now I think the panic attacks slowed down, but I always feel sleepy even after a couple of hours of waking up when I slept will I mean. Also feeling disconnected and really fuzzy and what really freaks me out that I don't have the energy to do anything ! My eyes are looking different and as if I'm not really there. I have been to the dr, to see my blood pressure and the how is my heart is working through that machine that draws lines ( sorry I don't know whats the name of it ) any ways is this normal ?? and do you guys think that the fuzziness will go away !!!? ???

First I would like to thank you for your respond, the first panic attack was very little and NO I didn't even smoke cigs nor weed. the thing is I went to the doctor and told'em about the weed thing and I did quite weed and cigs I don't smoke them as I did. But what is making me crazy that I have read a lot of posts that are like mine but I couldnt find anything about low blood pressure, I did some blood test again everything is fine but I always feel sleepy and have trouble sleeping or even when I sleep I wake up after 6 hours or so, and usually sleeping alot more and wake up feeling great and now I just really tired and dizzy and my eyes are red, anyways I've done some thyroid test wish me luck. I just wish it all goes away, I'm starting collage this Jan I'm worried that this would effect my education. I talking too much I know, I just need someone to help me :(

I will assume, and hope, that the panic attack you had when you were 12 was not related to weed. Did you only have the one attack at 12, or were there more? Do you have any idea why you had the attack? Did something traumatic happen? Did your parents take you to a doctor? Did they even know this had happened?
Fast forward 7 years and you're smoking weed, not often, but it seems possible that the pot triggered the panic attacks. When you saw your doctor, did you tell him about the weed? If not, that was a mistake. If your not totally honest with your doctor, you're not going to get a totally accurate diagnosis.
So you found out that your blood pressure was fine and the EKG showed that your heart, at the time of the test, was OK as well. So what did he say about your other symptoms?
There are many differing opinions as to how long THC stays in your system. And you don't know if the weed had been dusted with something else. You also said you were at the last stages of a fever when you smoked.........I have no idea if that would cause the weed to affect you differently. I rather doubt it, but I'm not an expert. I do know that we've been getting more and more posts like this one in the past year or so, which makes me wonder just what the hell people are smoking out there.
I'm sorry, but I really don't know if what your feeling is "normal" or not and I don't know when and/or if the fuzziness will go away. I don't mean to scare you, but there is some very bizarre stuff out there these days.........it's not like it was back in the '60's.
I recommend you go back to your doctor. If you didn't tell him everything the first time, tell him now. If you DID tell him, then he needs to know you're still feeling peculiar. If he does nothing to help you, seek out a second opinion.
I wish you the best
Peace
