Q: Pain and panic attacks caused by marijuana ?

As of late I have experienced very severe panic attacks but mor so extreme pain and aches in my left arm and side just below the armpit at the rib cage. It tends to be a dull and pressure type paind but my left arm all the way down to the joints in my fingers ache whenever I smoke a bit of pot. Now I never had such consecutive and severe symptoms like these until after about 18yrs of age and I am now in my early 30's I am a smoker and only smoke pot occassionally so my questions are as follows:
1. Why do I get such aches and pains
2. Why do I feel like its been getting progressively worse lately
3. After I experience these symptoms I feel beat and run down for about 2 days after but never had such severe pains and aches that travel all the way down to my fingers why?
I just can't understand why smoking a joint per se once in a blue moon is causing this when I had never had this happen until just a few years ago and it has gotten much worse with regards to the shortness of breath, chest pain, but truly annoying muscle aches and joint pain that I only get when I smoke pot why is this? looking

I am no medical expert but suffered for years from panic attacks and one thing I found out for sure, I could NOT tolerate pot. Just a little was 2 much. It would cause severe anxieties and panic. I know nothing about that pain down your arm; but if it goes towards your babyfinger and the one next to it; it could be some pinching on your disc in neck; due possiblly to the stress? Do you have the pain any other time? It may be that your disk is just starting to bulge and when you panic you get so uptight it is putting pressure on it. First; don't smoke dope. Second, you might want to get a scan on your neck to see if perhaps your disc's are bulging. Hope this helpsl, Lisa, fellow panic sufferer
