Hi.

I am looking for a list of (Indica?) strains that won't affect my heart-rate negatively.

I am very susceptible to having heart-attack like conditions from strains that increase my heart-rate. I DO NOT suffer from anxiety!

The medical qualities I am looking for are a strain for alleviating my aches and pains in the daytime, without making me drowsy, lethargic or too headstoned, and a nighttime strain that promotes sleep, while alleviating the above symptoms.

Thanx.

Heart attack is a vague lay term. Can you describe a little what this attack is?

I just had major issues with my heart and found no issues with my heart regarding MJ, unless I coughed and increased my oxygen demand.

Medical studies show it only increases heart rate as a secondary effect to vasodilitation which is what nitro does for angina.

So, are you having chest pain, or just fast heart rate and panicky feeling?

I suffer from a dangerous increase of heart rate as a result of many of todays super-strains. It results in the threat of imminent heart failure.

My problems began with the appearance of these strains in the late '80's.

Strong strains have always been around. Apparently prior to the eighties you were smoking dirt weed.

Sounds like you can't smoke it

That would be prior to the '90's leadmagnet, and I was smoking the best strains available at the time!
