I went out with a friend and took cannabis for the first time in my life, and I didn't know anything about tolerance or how it affects people differently. I smoked a joint and within a minute or so, I started getting palpitations and started walking wonky and everything was moving really slow (I presume that's a high, was my first time) - rushed to hospital when a nurse told me that the palpitations would go away.

Anyways, woke up next morning with visual disturbances that stayed - called HPPD (Got used to it, took some time). But also every time I ate, I felt so full and would feel nauseous for hours, if I had like a full meal then I would vomit. I am now pretty sure it is gastroparesis. But the most debilitating symptoms the constipation aside (somewhat managed my Movicol though slight discomfort from bloating) is that after I eat anything hours later, when it is slowly digesting I'm hit with the worst fatigue, like drop-dead fatigue but I'm not sleepy, if I go to lie down I feel better but no sleep comes - it's like an extreme "wired but tired".

I thought it was maybe my sleep quality wasn't great but even in the nights that I do get good sleep, this still occurs and I spotted the trend is when food is digesting, I get hit with this fatigue but I can't find any mention of this anywhere. The only solution to this is "undereating" - starve myself all day and have like a wrap, carbs seem to be the worst of offenders.

I do not think I have any intolerances, but something systemic, just wanted some advice on what it could potentially be.
