Possible heart problems...

[orangeman]

Ok, I know I have complained about heart problems before but I'm almost positive I have Coronary Artery Disease, I'm dead serious and I just wanna know is this life threatening? Also should I keep smoking if I have this disease? I know my heart beats faster when I'm high but what if my heart starts acting up while I'm high? I need answers because if this disease is life threating I'm stopping right here today.

Coronary heart disease is serious. You should be drinking alot of water. I believe heart attacks are caused by serious dehydration. That's my two cents. I'm not a doctor. I don't believe scientists have never found any connection to mj and heart disease. Studies have shown mj can be protective and help alot of conditons glaucoma, muscle spams and others. Mj is a vasodialator. This is key!. It actually opens up the blood vessels, temporarily. This is why you get red eyes.

Stop drinking coffee, tea, beer (alcohol for that matter) and soda pop and energy drinks. No cholesterol drugs!!!!! Damages the liver. I have a friend who took cholesterol lowering drugs for 20 years. He is now 57 years old. He did not drink water, but instead added water to his gatorade. He had to have back surgery twice and now he can barely walk. Stay the hell away from pharma drugs if you can.

The faster heart beat is obviously going to be harder on your heart, but if it's not too much an increase I wouldn't worry too much (but then I'm not a doctor). Weed does prevent hardening of the artery walls, so that's a good point, but you should start vaporizing since stopping tar and carcinogens from entering your system would certainly help.

I have a friend who has a heart murmur, he has been smoking for 40 years. Hasn't affected his heart yet.
