hey,
my name is Joe and i'm 19. from the ages of 17 and 19 i have abused my body and taken my health for granted, i used i to smoke marijuana on a daily basis and experimented with other substances. it wasn't untill late last year after starting my first year at university that i came across mKat (mephedrone) which i regrettably took at a party. after three nights without sleeping i developed a bad headache which is understandable considering how long it had been since i last slept so i took a mild painkiller, about half an hour later i was sat watching tv as i began to feel strange i felt a hot sensation in my chest and left arm and before i new it i was out of my chair and my heart was racing a mile a minute an i felt as though i was going to collapse at any minute. this subsided after a few minutes and naturally i was terrified after a few more instances like this i tried sleeping again. it was about 4 o'clock in the morning before i decided that something really wasnt right and i contacted the nhs hotline who after hearing my symptons suggested i visit the hospital to check that nothing major was wrong. at the hospital i head and ekg and was told there was nothing wrong with me and that i was having anxiety attacks.
recently i began to feel as if things were improving and stupidly on a couple of occasions smoked a small amount of cannabis which set off more pannick attacks this time worse than before after vowing never to smoke again i am unfortunatly still feeling anxious on a daily basis and having anxiety attacks generally everyday i have not yet been to the dr. for fear of what they'll tell me but i have so many symptons or anxiety that i have come to the conclusion that this is what it must be. i plan a visit to the dr. this week.
i think the worse thing about this situation for me is that i am the cause of it, it is something i have inflicted on myself through both stupidity and immaturity. so if anyone has any advice i would really appreciate it.
