Smoking weed complication

I been smoking weed since I was younger. 16-17 years old. Now 26. I don’t do any heavy drugs. Weed is my thing especially on the weekends when I’m chillin. The past couple times, I been getting panic attacks out of the blue. Heart is racing. Feel like I’m going to faint. Scared i cant breathe right. It’s AWFUL. I’m pretty sure it’s from smoking because it happened two times one after I ate an edible with THC & once after I smoked a big blunt. I wasn’t overthinking. I was having a good time with some friends. It just hit me out of the blue. I almost fainted and my chest was SUPER tight. I thought the edible was too strong but smoking did it to me as well! I have a DR appt Monday just to check myself to be safe BUT I am curious does this sound like an anxiety attack? Friends are telling me it seems as if I had one. I never had that in my life. I know weed isn’t everything but I love it. And I’m sad if I have to stop smoking it. I’m nervous to smoke again bc that feeling was AWFUL. I legitimately felt like I was going to die. The pressure on my chest and head was insane. anybody else ever experience this? **no judgement please. Marijuana smokers only please or helpful advice, thank you 💜”
