Dizziness

first off.... I am very new to cannabis.... I am using it for nausea caused by a case of Lyme disease I had in 2007...... It also helps some of the back pain I have.
This last Weekend, I took a large hit..( for me anyways) of an unknown strain... It was from the dispensary but I had put it into a little silicone box and not labeled it...... I had smoked a small amount of what I thought was the same strain the day before and was just energized, but I knew immidiately after inhaling it was not the same stuff.... It was harsh and made me cough ..... I had had my coffee for the day, but no food at all.... Within 15 minutes I felt incredibly dizzy and faint..... But I went for my morning walk like I usually do..... It was a walk I will not forget.... I felt lucid, dizzy, faint, blurred vision, and could barely keep my bearing straight to finish the walk.... I almost panicked at one point, but told myself I was close to home and just keep going...... Anyways, the rest of the day was the same, and the weekend was a blur... I did take a small hit of a sativa strain the next day, or the same evening..... I honestly cannot remember because of the brain fog...... It did seem to help, but I have not used any more cannabis for 4 days now because the dizziness and fog and some depression are also very present..... I should mention, I have been on an SSRI for 15 years..... This same thing has happened 1 time before about a month ago but dissipated within 24-36 hours....... I have a Dr appt tomorrow to see if there is something else going on, but at this point cannabis is a bit scary for me at the moment...... My husband told me to smoke a small amount of the sativa strains I have and it may help, but I don't want to prolong this dizziness and fog for any longer if it's cannabis related. I have really had no issues up until the last month ..... And I do live in the southwest where the pollen and dust are horrible right now, but I have never had issues with allergies before......I just want this fog and lack of clarity to go away.... I feel like I am in some sort of a daze......I should also mention I had heard a dose of CBD can pull you out of a bad situation, so I used my CBD spray several times that day and into the next day..... Not sure if that was the correct thing to do, but I did it anyways..... I have also been drinking tons of water as well.... Today it's the same feeling only with a slight headache and focus issues.... Like my eyes cannot move fast enough..... And for some reason time has gone so slow the last few days..... I kind of feel like I am in slow motion.

 

I'm am not an every day smoker or consumer either..... I use it maybe a couple times a week since I got my card..... And very small amounts.....I went a little crazy buying all sorts of stuff at first, but I gave most of it away to friends who also had cards because I was just too scared to use it.... I smoked cannabis at a teen, but not a lot, maybe 10 times..... I am now 45, so there has been a lot of years in between.... I am very healthy and do not smoke tobacco or drink alcohol, so maybe my system is just so clean the cannabis is causing issues. I don't use my SSRI for depression, mine was prescribed more for OCD issues and a mood stabilizer from problems brought on by pregnancy. I can function , but it takes a ton of convincing my brain to do the same right now......

 

Update...... I went to the Dr this morning and the second marijuana was mentioned her demeanor changed...... She said it's likely not from MM, but it isn't helping either...... Now I have clammy feet, and nausea as well..... So who knows what this is.... They took blood and I need to have an MRI and a ultrasound of my carotid artery...... This could be related to the weed, or...... The weed made whatever this is come to light...... I guess I'll find out when I get test results back and have the other tests run
