Stopped coffee consumption, experiencing cosntipation and blurred vision?

Nov 23, 2009 | Diabetes Blurred Vision

Is this natural?

Should I be worried about diabetes at all? I know that those two symptoms are symptoms of diabetes as well. I am 20 years old, and I exercise at least twice a week (6 foot tall, 166lbs, was 145 before I started working out to gain mass).

I know that diabetes affects people of older age and heavier mass, but I just want to rule it out so I’m not so damn paranoid about it anymore lol..

Other info: sometimes in the morning I wake up and it is difficult to breathe and my heart is pounding. Sometimes the blurred vision is not so bad (like I can read what I’m typing right now with no problem but it is not as clear as it used to be when I used to drink coffee). Sometimes it gets so bad I just give up studying (which sucks cus I have a midterm in one week).

Also, I smoke marijuana about once a day, could that contribute to the blurred vision? I thought not since I smoked every single day in the last summer and I was fine.. this was amidst weight training every other day and no caffeine consumption… another note is that I used to take mass-gaining supplements (filled with maltodextrin a complex carb) heavily during my mass-gaining phase last summer.. could that have caught up with me today and is causing pre-diabetic symptoms?

ANY help or suggestions/comments/stories/experiences/etc is appreciated since I just cannot shake this feeling off of me.. and I am naturally stressed/anxious so it would be very nice to rule out any serious problems (such as pre-diabetes)

THANKS!!

PS: to all those about to reply solely to discourage my weed habits, please do not and just save both of us the time. I’ve done my research on the subject and am quite content with my usage of the herb. If said usage is causing/exacerbating my symptoms, then please englighten me =)

You are also describing chronic high blood pressure (except the constipation) and are in danger of stroking out or having an aneurism as well.

    Marijuana can cause increased heart rate whilst not smoking. A decrease in caffeine doesn’t seem to be the problem. I doubt it’s diabetes. The pills (give more details on the "supplements" ) are what stick out to me. I would see a doctor soon, plausibly ASAP.
