Panic: Thousands of people spend time and money needlessly getting their normal hearts checked out when they have a panic attack or anxiety. You are nineteen. You did not need heart testing. One of the most common side effects of using marijuana is paranoia and panic and anxiety. Your 'burning' pain was this. It was not your heart.
