Panic Attacks after single drug use?
Going to give a description of my experience of the past year, any insight or similar experiences are welcome, just felt like my situation was pretty weird and hopefully I can get some answers or direction on what to do about it.
So last march I went to Miami for spring break, which also happened to be music week( a week of parties centered around electronic music). I love electronic music so I was pumped. Well as you can guess, I partied everyday/night, mostly just drinking but some was using some blow when I need a pick me up some night, but overall nothing I had not done before. For context I was a college senior and had been recreationally using drugs throughout college, but never abused them or developed any dependency. Anyways, week is going fine except I will say the apartment we were staying at pretty much turned into a 24/7 party which really did prevent quality sleep after the 3rd day (was there for 4 nights total). I remember thinking “holy shit I have never felt so sleep deprived in my life”.
After I think the 3rd night out, I got back around 9am and was chilling with some girls, one of which offered me a single bump of tussy (tussi or however you spell it) I had been interested in the pink powered and I had seen her and others using the exact bag she had ball night so I felt comfortable it would not kill me, and the high was pretty nice, a little weird but by no means bad. I took a nap after and then woke up and ordered a burrito. I remember after eating the burrito, I stood up and as I did, I felt a distinct change in my head, like a sudden drop of pressure or like i suddenly had been flipped upside down as well as off balance and a little nausea. After that the feelings just amplified and I remember laying down and feeling my heart rate just going crazy for 1-2hrs. I tried to sleep it off but remember constantly feeling like I was going to pass out and being unable to sleep. Eventually it subsided a little, and I was able to go out that night but stayed sober.
Basically, from that point to now (over a year) I have developed some sort of anxiety/ panic. I get randomly light headed and lose feeling with a lot of my body, feel dizzy, sense of impending doom, all the classic panic symptoms that are typical. I also noticed that my hangovers from drinking are insane mentally, like insane waves of panic wash over me a few hours after waking up from a night of drinking( i have stayed away from all drugs except alcohol since this experience).
At first, I was very concerned about some sort of physical problem, as all my symptoms seems to just manifest in physical feelings, but i have been to a regular doc as well as a cardiologist and all tests are normal and healthy, for context i work out regularly , get outside and am in good shape. My problems have gotten better overall, but some days I will just get hit with these physical symptoms (lightheaded, dizzy, loss of feeling throughout body, elevated heart rate) completely out of nowhere and while I am able to not panic as much just because it has happened so many times, it still is very bothersome that it persists after so long.
So I guess my question would be has anyone dealt with something similar and been able to overcome or heal from it? and if so how? Thanks
