did i have a stroke last night?!


Question: Did i have a stroke last night?
I smoked a lot of weed last night with a mate. After he left my heart started beating really fast and my left side became almost completely numb. I couldn't smile and i was terrified. I went to sleep and when i woke up i was fine except for the fact that the left side of my face is still tingling. Was that a stroke and should i seek medical attention?

Answers:

yes.
it sounds like it could be a stroke, or at least a TIA (which is a warning stroke, when the symptoms come and then go away).
It could also be other things, too.

If you like your life, you'll go to a doctor and get checked out.
If you don't really care, well then... keep smoking that weed...

Now what the f*ck are you doing smoking shite like that hm? Well I suppose it's none of my business but in answer to your question, it's possible you had a stroke. Yes you definitely should seek medical attention. If you just say 'I think I had a stroke last night' then I'm sure they won't ask you if you were smoking weed. :L If they do ask what you were doing last night however you should definitely tell them. It's the only way they'll be able to stop you having another stroke. If you don't do anything, refuse to admit you smoked weed and keep on taking the drug, you'll get more palpitations and strokes and eventually you will get seriously ill and die. Of course, this all if it WAS a stroke. I do strongly suggest you seek medical help though and you'll only be given a fine or a less serious punishment to be found guilty of possessing weed which is a Class C drug I believe? Possibly Class B? Just make sure you're alright by getting yourself down to the doctors or to your GP. You'll be fine though.

Personal Opinion



depends on your age and general health, but tingling down one perticular side is a sign of a stroke, but it's possible also the effects of the weed. if your feeling the same in a few more hours you might want to talk to a doctor about it.

not much they can really do anyway since the damage is already done (if it was a mini stroke) as the time period for treatment using clot busting drugs or clot forming drugs has passed, and your in the 'recovery' time.

the symptoms should be gone within a few months hopefully.



You just got a batch of that Cardioshock bud, you'll be fine. Next time you smoke it eat 20 kilos of Funyuns & you'll feel better.



probaly, maybe u dont have long left to live
