Hello, first of all thanks to each and everyone of you for you service to the society. My question is, basically I am on my 50th day of assistance from marijuana. I haven't smoked cigarette for over 4 yrs. I drink once a week moderately. Since I quit marijuana the first few weeks for horrible, experienced almost everything physically & mentally. (anxiety & frequent panic attacks). I spoke to a psychiatrist who prescribed me bupron sr 150 which worked wonders. But while doing physical activities the shortness of breath, lightheaded ness & dizziness was there. One particular day my chest was bothering me and my heart rate was fast. So I did a full body test. Cholesterol ldl was 121mgdl and hdl was 74mgdl. Ecg & chest xray was normal according to the physician I visited. He told me there is nothing to worry about and prescribed me pantozil 40, alegaard-m & etilaam 0.5 mg. Which has comforted me in carrying on my regular activities. The only concern is I still feel lightheaded and dizzy at times sometimes during and after an intense football game (this started happening since I quit, never occurred before). It has definitely improved from before as I am exercising better day by day. I also have chest congestion & mucus which bother me all the time for a while. Should I be worried about the lightheadedness as the physician had told me not to worry it will heal with time. I don't get panic attacks anymore. But the light headed ness makes me paranoid about my health. P.s. My appetite is fine. I eat well everyday. Also regarding my marijuana intake. I smoked on rare occasions between the age 20-24. Smoked frequently from 24-27. However, I have taken breaks in the middle. No issues with my sleep (only issue is after I have an intense exercise, my head feels dizzy while sleeping) neither do I sweat.

Hello, sir. You need not worry about this light headedness that you are experiencing after exercises, I would suggest you to hydrate well during the day and do moderate exercise only for some days. Try to sleep adequately. Don't do intense exercises for someday, let your body adapt slowly. Hope this helps. Thank you.
