I started smoking weed during my teen years on and off. I would have had a bag, smoked it, then not touched it again for ages, years at a time. 
Fast forward to my late twenties. I started smoking weed more frequently til I was smoking it every day for 3 years. 
I recently stopped (about 6 months ago). 
I also gave up my tobacco addiction which I’ve had through all those years. 
I sometimes indulge in alcohol and over do it but for the most part I’m not a heavy drinker. 
I’ve recently started to experience severe anxiety symptoms. Like constant butterflies in your stomach. Always on edge unless I’m doing something and sometimes even then. I feel at night it’s in my chest and It’s like I can’t get a full breath. It’s got so bad I decided to contact my doc who has prescribed me some propanolol to see how I go. 
I just wondered does anyone think there is a link is between my sudden anxiety and my sobriety? I also wondered as I started microgynon birth control two months ago could this be causing the symptoms?
