I'm not sure if this is anything, it could just be me getting way too stoned, but i'm getting a little worried about it now.
I've been smoking cannabis for a little over 4 years now and i've kinda been noticing something. It seems that sometimes when i get high, my body goes a little weird. Firstly my hands just freeze, they go so cold that it gets a bit hard to move them around. At first i thought it was because i had been outside a lot when we used to get high and so they are just cold naturally, but i've been indoors on hot days and they still just get really cold.
Sometimes my heart just races. I can feel it thumping and it's a little odd.
Finally it feels like the bottom of my lungs just go dead. When i breathe it seems like i only intake half as much air as usual and this leaves me a bit exhausted at times so i then have to manually breathe for a bit.
I dunno really, does anyone else get this? Is there perhaps something a little off with me or is it that i'm just getting too high?
first topic yay

stop smoking. it'll help.

Maybe it's something in your food?

You could try baking the marijuana into brownies and see if that helps.

All typical signs of mid-term MJ use.
I used to get a weird upper back pain whenever I got high but never when I wasn't. I don't know if it was just in my head or not as I doubt weed can cause upper back pain.
Also pot increases heart rate.
Good weed will sometimes give you a "body high" which will make your body feel weird (great to have sex on  )

stop for 1-2 months then your body goes back to normal
start again
this should work

These are simply the results of having smoked marijuana for an extended period of time. Decreased circulation, and poor lung capacity. A racing heart happens everytime you get high, but perhaps you are noticing it more because your heart is having to work harder and harder.
The decision you need to make now is whether you are willing to live with these side effects and continue to get high (ensuring that they will also get worse) or if you are willing to make a change in lifestyle for a healthier body (but less high-ness).
Good luck with your decision.

I'm sort of in the same situation as you. I used to have long smoke sessions with my friends normally tobacco and a few times weed. I weigh 145 lbs and had surgery which mighta affected my lungs too but it's harder for me to breathe now as well compared to say before 10th grade(before i started smoking).
Sometimes its hard for me to sleep at night because my lungs or throat or w/e just doesnt feel as clean as it used to be and its a bit diff from how i was breathing before i smoked. Argh the really only time i smoke is when im at a party or when im stressed out. But i havent done either of those in months now. But yea Smoking is horrendous for your health and its one of the things that i wish my body had more tolerance level for. It's hard to pass off smoking when with nice ladies, group of friends, etc and everyones doing it. I suggest you stop completely sell all your cannabis put away your lighters somewher and dont buy anymore to smoke.

Don't be too frightened, like others have said this is typical of prolonged marijuana use. I get some of these symptoms when I am high, particularly numb/uncontrolled fingers and the feeling like your lungs collapsed. The latter usually comes when I take a monster hit, the previous usually comes when I smoked more than I usually do and my fingers just become retarded. Overall, having cold fingers even when not under the influence is typical of smokers of both reefer and cigarettes alike, because of decreased circulation, as Manifesto said. I've been smoking a little over 5 years, and I don't have that yet, but I do feel that my hands get colder before those of others.
Perhaps you should give smoking a few month break, do some cardio exercises to get a little of those limitations loosened a bit, and then start up again and see how you feel.
Edit: After reading the above post, I'd have to say that seems like a pretty harsh case. If it's that bad, perhaps you SHOULD stop. I don't get any of those problems myself - I still perform just as well in sports and running, but who knows if I would be better if I hadn't smoked? It just matters if you are putting a serious detriment to your day-to-day health, in which case I think getting high is not worth it. As for stress, although substance abuse is the easiest and most entertaining way to get rid of it, there are many other ways as well. I never smoke alone (just seems lame to me), so when I'm stressed and no friends are available, I listen to some good music and play some low-level SC or read my favorite books. Watch your favorite movie, eat your favorite food, etc. Good luck [:
