Pot is what triggered my panick attacks in the first place.  I just get hyper sensitive and so inwardly consious and doubt myself so much on that stuff.  It does different things to different poeple.  I really am jealous of poeple who are just layed back and worrieless when they are high.  Not me, it does the opposite effect as I would hope it would.  

So that wawa feeling was probly an effect of anxiety and anxiety was probly the effect of the pot.  I use to think that anxiety was as trivial as an itch but it can be the most troublesome and paralizing feeling.

   Humans were not meant to have outside chemicals pumping through their heads 24/7.  Pot isnt as harmless as people think.

Marijuana can exacerbate or trigger anxiety very frequently, especially if you have a history of anxiety.  When you say you "collapsed", what does that mean?  If you actually FAINTED, then it's doubtful anxiety is the CAUSE.  While anxiety can make us dizzy, and can make us FEEL as though we'll pass out...its nearly impossible for anxiety ALONE to make it happen.

Your best bet is to rule out any medical cause with your doc, and try very hard to steer clear of pot and other drugs, especially while you sort this out. Even alcohol will exacerbate anxiety, if that's what you're dealing with.

Take care of yourself!

Pot and anxiety can be a bad combo. Me personally I panicked and felt like crap so never tried it again. But I have seen people have full blown panic attacks when they have never had anxiety before. I would advise getting off it or at the very least do not hold in the hit as you are depriving yourself of oxygen during that time. Wouldnt hurt to see your doctor and make sure all is well too.
