Heart Trouble

[bwomp420]

Lately, after I'm done with my session, my heart beats like there is no tomorrow. It sucks, because this has never happened to me before. It got so bad a few days ago that I tried to sleep it off, and all I could feel was my heart throbbing throughout my body. Any suggestions to why this just started randomly?

[mellow mood]

woha dunno. it happened to my friend because he was smokin too much pot, so he stopped few days. i recommend to consult a doctor if its that bad.

[bwomp420]

Damn, I hope this doesn't mean my smoking days are over.

[Brokedown Palace]

Maybe you should try and lay off for a week or two, and let your body re cooperate.

[bigdaddy420]

I've had that happen before too. But I don't think it was quite that bad though because after I stopped for two or three days, I was okay.

[ChuckECheese]

the same thing happened to me, but it was just my imagination fuckin around. are you sure you just weren't trippin?

[juggalo420]

if its was really good weed your sense of sound could just be fucking with you amplifying your heartbeat, this is esp. true if where your at is quiet.

Do you find yourself getting dizzy and lightheaded while this happens?

When I was younger I had a similar problem. Every so often while playing sports or doing something physical all of a sudden my heard would beat at a rediculous rate, something like 180 bpm. It was a pain in the ass, man, every time it happened I had to hook up to heartbeat recording machine so the doctors could record it and see what was wrong.

They called it Arrithmia. (sp?) When I was 14 I got surgery to get it taken care of and I have been straight ever since. This is what made me decide to smoke weed because after having heart surgery at age 14 you realize life is too short to pass on grass.

[bwomp420]

Yeah, I'm going to the doctor's sometime next week to get this shit checked out.

[mellowman420]

had the same thing, you probably have not been smoking long because people out live that

[DreamSmoke]

I have this SAME problem! :O

I never had any body problems until I started to smoke weed. I could run a fuckin mile in like less than 7 minutes with minimal breathing. Now, I can't even run across the street and down it kinda without dying from overbreathing! Godamn, and I have that heart problem too. I'll lay down and it'll be throbbing throughout my body and I can hear it really easily even if I HAVEN'T smoked that day. I also have respitory problems too...geez, we're all fucked up aren't we?

[bwomp420]

When I'm not high, whenever I take a deep breath I get a pain near my heart. The pulse is normal, but I'm definately laying off the pot for a bit.

[AbbaZabba]

My best friend has the same problem. When his heart shit starts he says drinking beer helps it go away. When he doesnt have beer he plays video games to keep his mind off it. I had the heart shit once to after smoking 3 blunts with some of my friends and it's fuckin crazy.

I would first recommend smoking less weed per session. Just increase the number of sessions throughout the day (depending on how long you want to stay high). Your energy is becoming too Yang (from the chinese medical theory, meaning, but not limited to "hot", "expressive", "active").

By lowering the dosage taken at one time helps to keep the body regulated, and it prevents the body from becoming too imbalanced. I find that drinking ice-cold water before, during, and after my sessions helps greatly when I smoke a particulary "Yang" oriented strain. Regular weed smokers tend to carry less water anyway, and dehydration can affect us to a greater level than non-practitioners.

Engaging in an activity to rid the body of the "Yang" energy also is another great way of getting the body back into balance. I personaly do internal martial arts, chi gung, yoga, or stretching during this time because you can expel the uneeded energy while not getting the body too hot, or shortening the breath too much.

This could create even more unecessary Yang energy. Running, weight training, and the like, create a more expressive energy and should be avoided during this time. FWIW, I generaly do these activities more often on the down slope of the high, although when your energy becomes more regulated you are not restricted to this time period.

If you are sedentary and do not have a way of balancing the energy through these means, I find it helps to focus on your breathing, when experiencing these and other types of side effects (i.e parinoia, chaoitc thoughts, insomnia, or general unrest.

Particularly, focus on the exhalation. Make your out-breath is at least twice as long as your in-breath. It also helps to focus on the breath an the entrance of the nose to give your mind a focal point. Be sure to breathe through the nose. You can regulate the breath easier, and it allows for a more controlled exhalation.

Finally, if you know the strain that you are smoking it could help to determine a better dosage, intake method, or possibly help find out if you need to try another type of herb. Also list any other drugs that you may be taking currently including perscriptions, caffeine, alchohol, recreational, and yes, even sugar levels.

Feel free to IM me on any questions you may have.

Anyway, good luck. I hope this helps.

It might be wise if you smoke without tobacco, but I know how many people like smoking thier bunts. In a way it is like telling someone to quit smoking cigarettes. Also, vaporizing or oral consumption may be a good alternative for you to try. I hope you get to feeling better.

[Endless Smoker]

REV, yeah dude i totally agree with you, i gotta question do blunt wraps have nicotine

[Dragonslayer4200]

Could someone tell me what he just said? LOL :p

REV, yeah dude i totally agree with you, i gotta question do blunt wraps have nicotine

If the yare aftermarket wraps, most often they have more nicotine than your average cigarette. Many times they add it intentionaly to get you to crave the wrap/cigar more. Now certain true cigar companys do this as well. It all helps with their profits.

The thing you have to worry about more is the levels of tar found in tobacco, even more so when it is processed.

You can get all of the wonderful cancers associated with cigarette from blunt wraps and cigars. Im not sure on the content of tar in a blunt wrap, because many companys use different levels of pure tobacco, but a cigar has more tar in it than nearly a pack of cigarettes.

I would say for a blunt since you just use the outside leaves, it would be closer to half. So, if you smoke 3 blunts a day, thats near the tar level of 1 1/2 packs of cigarettes.

Normaly, cigar smokers do not inhale so the risks are not as great. However, I assure you that if someone is smoking a blunt..they are.

People might use the argument that they already smoke cigs and a blunt wont hurt them, but if you smoke 2 blunts on top of the cigs, thats double the tar that they already smoked from the typical "pack a day".

To make a long story short, unless you can't smoke without using tobacco, it would be wise not to use it in any form.

I look at it like this...why would I want to spoil perfectly good herb? Im trying to get high, Im not trying to to cancer.

I wouldnt shit in my sandwich before I ate it... Nuff Said. :D

Take Care.

[Endless Smoker]

Rev to be truthful i smoke on average of 6 blunts a day, dam i was wondering why(I used to be a hardcore cig smoker) i dont crave cigs any more since i havent touched them in months and months, thanks for the info

I would be willing to be that if you just smoked weed with out the wrap, your lung infection would clear up in no time. Take some Vitamin C (about 1000mg a day) and some Echinacea (you can get both pretty cheap at GNC) to help your immune system along.

Hope you feel better. Take Care. :D

[AdidasZ21]

I never thought i'd say this but...You smoke way too much. :eek:

[DreamSmoke]

Dude I'm seriously about to just stop smokin weed altogether. I'm tired of feeling crappy all the time..don't you just get the urge to quit because the pains and stress brought on by marijuana smoking just makes you feel like a living zombie? I have some sort of respitory infection I've had for like 4 almost 5 months and the doctors say it's not bad, just some sort of viral infection but I don't know what's going on. I'm about to stop smoking and just finish school and some things get a job and money to get a place with my girl and go into the Navy once my girl's 18. I need to stop living like this. I can't have my girl living like this either. How can I support her withough a job and she wants someone grown up and mature, I've gotta show her. Marijuana smoking is not the way to go people. No drugs are. Turn back now before you totally ruin things. I've been here for a few weeks, I know. Maybe it's just the weed talking cause I'm high right now but seriously people what has it gotten me? Doing drugs doesnt get you shit unless some kind fo miracle happens and you're lucky to become some kind of a huge drug king pin, chances are that won't happen so besides that drugs won't get you anywhere. I know I've only known you people for like a week or so. But I want everybody here to remember my screename and remember that Cannabis.com messageboards changed me into a stable person. One that doesn't want to do the drugs anymore. I'm not trying to preach, but I love life so much..I don't want to waste it..

The point is people, I love my life and girlfriend more than drugs and I don't intend on living on drugs all my life. I'm going to get a degree in medicine and become a doctor. Anybody who wants to turn back with me now are welcome to...

ADIOS,
-DS-

[dazedandcontributing]

i have had the same thing they are called palipatations it is a dramatic increase in your heart rate if you control your breathing youll be fine but still consult a physician the thing that helps most is sex. lol because palipatations are caused by stress or not eating properly.try to quit or minimize your intake for the next couple of weeks and then try finding a more mellow weed less of a head high more body high if this doesnt work you may have developed an alergy or could have smoked moldy weed there are a number of "ifs" so just try not to think about it remeber your mind is your worst enemy because it controls your body so if you think to hard it will happen again thats what kept happening to me anyway but hope you get through this man

I sometimes get this after a heavy smoke, scares the shit outta me

[Endless Smoker]

[Endless Smoker]

[stonerboy40k]

[bwomp420]

I expirimented and smoked with my friend the other day (a joint split between us) and found out that I don't even notice it when I'm with somebody talking and whatever. I am guessing it was just my mind freaking me out.

Yeah, it happens, bro. I used to get panic attacks regularly. I've found that as long as you occupy your mind and/or body with something specific, the sideffects are generaly deleted. Along with correct breathing, of course. You can do something active (i.e. sports, running, martial arts, skating, etc.) for the body, or something creative and engaging for the mind. Sometimes even simple problem solving helps.

To me, it really is all a practice in focusing the consicousness, to achieve a desired effect. Listen to your body, and go with the flow.

Take care, and happy Highs. :D

[bwomp420]

Thanks for the advice Revelation. As long as I occupy myself, I am all set.

[happysuicide]

lots of my mates have the same thing but thats cause they do too many chemies at the weekend so their hearts are a little fucked. A while back i had anxiety and that made my heart thump like you described. I still get it when i do too much excersize. Went to the docs and they said i had a slightly irregular heartbeat and that it was just my brain panicking about it that made it so feirce

[mellowman420]

fuck quiting!@#$
if your lungs don't heal then your a little wimp. weed is great so keep smokin'

[GHoSToKeR]

smoking weed increases your heart rate! I thought somebody woulda said that by now! The increased heart rate is what cause paranoia and anxiety when youre high

I get those when I smoke shwaggy shit, and that sucks ass! When I used to live in Austin Tx., that never happened to me when I smoked shwag weed at all, but it is just my mind fucking with me, or all that damn coffee that I drink. Lol.
