Normal heart rate for a high

[Purple Banana]

Snap dude, 168? That's fucking insane, gym teacher in 9th grade said a heart rate of 180 = death :O (Sorry for posting twice)

For a short period of time, such as exercising (people can get anywhere from 120-180 bpm with exercising) 180 will not kill you, under normal and healthy circumstances. However, if you heart rate is 180+ for an extended period of time, say during a cardiac episode (heart attack, atrial fib, or ventricular fib), or an overdose of a particularly dangerous drug, yes, it very well may damage your heart to the point of cardiac arrest, or death.

The increase of bpm during smoking is usually within the same range as moderate cardio exercise, and unless you have pre existing heart issues, it shouldn't be much of a problem. If it were, everyone at gyms would be collapsing over with heart attacks

Well usually heart rate increase isn't a big thing for me. If it does happen it only happens for about 5 mins..10 mins max. But most of the time my heart rate doesn't really beat all that much faster than it does when I'm sober and if it does then I really don't notice the difference.

hmm mine used to after my long breaks of not smoking.
smoking again, i'd get so jittery because my heart beat was racing so fast. then i got paranoid that my heart was going to explode, not anymore though. ;P

Yeah. My heart rate always increases after a long break from it haha.
