[ande5657]

is pot bad if high blood pressure just got put on bp meds but wanted to know if anyone else have high bp and smoke and not mess with bp what im saying is i think im having panic attacks but doc said bp it usally runs in the 130 to 150s over 70s to 90s and sometimes like today im having low heart rate its 56 then has since went to 78.any help thanks chris

yes chris, i also have HBP and smoke on a regular basis it does tend to increase my bllood pressure and heart rate. As for it being bad I don't think so I have done research and it actually dilates(expands) your blood vessels and arterys meaning your heart pumps out the same amount more or less

Yeah, i believe that regardless of what pharmacuetical meds you are on that cannabis isnt going to give you a problem. Thats my opinion and i think that everybody is entitled to it. :)

I totally agree. I am the example, I am on 8 different meds and it don't seem to bother any of them. And yes I am on HBP pills, Havn't checked it will high but I think it helps mine. You know relaxes me and puts me at ease. :stoned:

Well, I wouldn't say that cannabis in its self caused bp problems or agitates them, just try not to trip out too badly. Don't think about your heart or how fast its beating because you might scare the crap out of yourself.

i had stage 2 hypertension and smoking would cause panic attacks nearly everytime..
im on 75 mg of toprol now and my blood pressure is in the 130's and i have noticed that i do not get as anxious and panicy as i did before.... the fact is, if its bothering you, you need to stop, slow down, or only do it when your really relaxed.

it would be foolish to say that marijuana is completely harmless. it definatly has an affect on people with HBP.. and alot of it is mental... i know pot just made me worry about it which inturned caused me to have panic attacks and be very anxious.

I had the panic attacks before but they went away. dont worry about it

i too have high blood pressure 180/120 n never thought it was result of getting stoned, but thinking about it i never had it b4 i smoked it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have high blood pressure (father has it as well), but it seems unaffected by the marijuana (mind you, I haven't taken my blood pressure while high).

the high blood pressure comes from holding your breath and choking yourself and that caughing shit isa BAD IDEA anyways... LOL thats why you get headaches ...smoke better weed dont hold your breath and relax...try it
