For some reason my heart will always race when i smoke even if its a heavy indica like granddady purp or something like that. I had a bad experience about 3 years ago and triped out really hard i thought i was going to die because my heart was pounding and it sent me to the hospitle. I smoked out of my friends bong and started to feel the effects about 10 minutes after walking home. It was a hot day and the cottonmouth kicked in and the week legs. So ive always been afrade to smoke again because i dont want to have that experience agin. Is the racy heart when smoking normal?

Please help.

What are the effects that i should be feeling. I know that eveyone is diffrent but what are some of the effects?

I had almost the exact same experience you had 10 years ago and have just started smoking pot again after 5 years.
I have found I get a racy heart when I smoke, but if I use a sativa it is much easier to control and actually can be a positive experience. Most of your anxiety is in your mind, so try something that will open it up. Worked for me at least.

Honestly, maybe you shouldn't be smoking.
Smoking does cause a faster heart beat, but not so much so that it sends you to the hospital. Never once have I tripped out or had an experience quite like that.

Some people say that Sativas werk better, but in all honesty, I think that if an Indica sent you to the hospital then a Sativa may not werk either. I find that Sativas tend to be more of a mind high, and that can cause even more paranoia and anxiety than before, and you'll be left trippin' even harder. I find that it's much easier to over-medicate with a Sativa than an Indica, however, we all differ and most of your research on finding that perfect Strain for your personal needs will mainly be trial and error.

I know that I like to medicate with Sativas in the morning, and they help me greatly with my anxiety during the day, but I also know that I'm experienced and can handle the effects of it, and even lately the batches I've been getting have been pretty potent, and it's very easy to over-medicate.

Just remember, like someone above me said, that most of the anxiety is IN YOUR MIND. Just take a deep breath, and relax. Where you smoke and who you smoke with also plays a factor. Smoke somewhere you feel comfortable, and smoke with someone you feel comfortable with, and maybe try staying in one place and don't go wandering around. Just relax

Smoking out of a bong may not have been the best idea either, because with bongs you can take massive rips. Try using a pipe next time, it's a little smaller and you'll be able to control your doses better. Also wait a few minutes between each hit to make sure that your good, I know there's been plenty of times that I'll be sitting there and can keep smoking and smoking, not thinking I'm medicated enough, and boom, you get up and your REALLY medicated lol. If your smoking and you've found that you've over-medicated, just sit there, close your eyes and take several deep breaths and relax, it will soon pass.

I hope this helps, and good luck. Have a great week everyone and bless all!

hey man, I know how you feel. I have had some panic or anxiety attacks from smoking where I feel like my heart is going to explode. Well one time I had an edible and that was bad news I freaked out and threw up and I was almost going to go to the hospital but decided that wouldn't be the best idea. Ive talked to a lot of people about this and im pretty sure its just all in your head. Just make sure your mind is clear when you go into smoking, I found that if I had a lot on my mind or very stressed then it would occur more oftend. Now I just smoke in complete moderation, Ill smoke outta my bong but instead of smoking a whole bowl. I just take like 2 little rips till im goood. it helps conserve your meds especially if your on a budget like me. well here is a site to help you out that I came across. I know how you feel and if its really affecting you then maybe smoking just isnt for you. peace dude

Have you had a full blood work up done? Checking your thyroid, blood sugar, etc? It may be a good idea to have some blood work done incase you have complications...Not to scare you or anything...Just an idea. I have a thyroid problem and when my thyroid is too high, it causes my heart to race, especially smoking and it's not a good feeling. Fotuanately I have my blood drawn every 6 months or so and I am fine, now.
If I was you, and was afraid of feeling like I'm going to die...having a super-anxiety attack, that caused me to go to the hospital, I would stop smoking mmj...I'd quit. Anxiety attacks and a pounding heart are just too scarey for me to handle. I couldn't stand feeling that way.
I hope you do what is best for you and be safe and have yourself a check-up. God Bless...

OK...No problem. Thanks for explaining it to me. :-)

When we experience out of control feelings with fear at maximum - we imprint on that experience. It is a bit like PTSD - you are most likely haveing anxiety attacks over the fear that you will drop into the black hole again.

If you can do something to relax (massage, warm bath, sex), then take a small toke - no more - and wait to see how you feel. If you can decondition yourself like this I am sure, over time, you will get over the fear that controls your heart rate.

Maybe as has been said you should use a pipe smaller hits.. Maybe try some edibles as they tend to take time to come on and do not have same effect as smoking.

When eating or smoking guve the medication time to have effect that way you will not over medicate.
