One doesn't necessarily cause the other. It's a temporary phase, luckily. Sativa-heavy strains cause that response more than Indicas.
Actually that is true, my heart some times races with out getting paranoid. I just assumed that you were getting paranoid because everyone else who tells me there heart races when they smoke also always gets paranoid.
