Question
Hi my names Madelyn, i'm 18 years old and a female. Here's my problem. I smoke marijuana regularily and lately i would smoke and then happen to yawn, and then once i would yawn my hearing would go out and i would just black out or something and fall over onto the concrete. I've done this twice and one of the times after i fell, my boyfriend picked me up and brought me to a nearby bed, and then a second later i was seizing and to me it felt like i was on a rollarcoaster, i didn't really know what was going on unto my boyfriend told me that he thought i was dieing. Is this something to worry about, and do you know what it could be? Both times were triggered by a yawn. Please reply, I just am confused as to why this would all of a sudden be happening, when i've been smoking for years now.

Answer
Dear Madlyn,

I certainly would worry about that. The first step is going top see a doctor have yourself tested. But you must tell the doctor that you were using marijuana. If the doctor cannot find anything it is sure that it may have been due to marijuana smoking. If you have an addiction problem, then it is a sign that without marijuana you may experience depression  and/or anxiety.
