anyway, so, one night i smoke the bubba and my heart races a bit; another time i smoke the jedi and it races a bit as well; then once i smoke (let me clarify: i'm using a vaporizer, the vapolution) and my heart starts really going; i ended up having my roomate take me to the ER; my heart was going 120 or so at most, and was over 100 for about an hour
they gave me an EKG and everything looked fine, but the heartbeat was fast, the drug they gave me to calm it (adaran or something?) didn't do anythin, and they discharged me pretty quick, saying "that heartbeat is nothing dangereous, it's not that fast and it's regular; you just got some bad pot" (i told the doc i smoked pot, medically, and thus no entanglements with cops or any such (though i was freakin on the way in that they would call the cops on me, even though i'm legal in cali, it freaked me)
anyway, i was REALLY scared; the funny thing is it didn't feel i was having an anxiety attack, though i guess it's possible i could have, i've been rather depressed and anxious lately, tough time in my life
i really thought i might die (so maybe that means i was having an anxiety attack but it lasted a LONG time), but the reason was that my heart was really racing, and it seemed that it was just because of the drug
so, this is a real bummer; i love pot and it's been very good to me previously; i'm a very casual smoker, but it helps me with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, sleeping etc. but now i'm off it and bummed about that
well, that's my verbose story; it was genuinly frightening; i'm 25 and i don't know if i've ever been that scared for my life; not even rock climbing some sketchy shit
is this the thread that was answered by Rgirl:) and Stinky about going to the dentist? Which was the best advice, like go back to Dr. that prescribed the Vicodin! As if it were an infection in a tooth an infection could cause your pulse to increase! And to go back to dentist, which u did and got antibiotics. these get all blurred after a lot of reading. Good luck! surely it is resolved by now! best of luck!:(
