Rep Power: 130 | Re: Rapid Heart Beat While Smokeing.. hey dude, try smoking a indica, it wont make your heart race and plus most of that stuff is in your mind. its happened to me before because i thought about my heart racing too much and i tripped so hard i thought i was going to die. I think i was smoking a sativa tho and so i just try to smoke indicas now because there not racey like the sativa strains. good luck dude |

I have seen your postings the past few weeks and I see you tried the GDP like many people told you. It sounds like your getting anxiety really bad when you smoke. Smoking usually helps this but it is making it worse for you. I would stop smoking it before you pass out and get hurt. Call your doc and see whats up. Dont be affraid to discuss anything with your doc. Its all confidential. |

Rep Power: 310637 | Re: Rapid Heart Beat While Smokeing.. You might have to experiment with different strains. Some people actually need sativas to mellow out because indicas make their mind race too much. Kinda like giving hyper kids speed to calm them down. It could also be an issue with your esophagus. I have a hiatal hernia that occasionally rubs up against my vagus nerve. Smoking alot of any strain relaxes my muscles and my hernia sometimes rubs against the nerve. This nerve regulates many major organs, so it can cause your heart to race and your stomach to feel upset or give you the urge to go to the restroom. You also get very light headed and feel like you're gonna pass out. The feeling always passes after a few. Drinking water and walking around helps me get over it. I'm used to it enough that I don't worry too much anymore, but I'd still rather it didn't happen. If you have stomache sensations when this happens, you should see a doc about getting it checked out. |

Rep Power: 2690 | Re: Rapid Heart Beat While Smokeing.. Sounds like you've just been getting too high. Try a strain like Romulan . . . it's a nice buzz, but not overpowering (about 2 hrs. long) and watch a funny or interesting movie. Have some O.J. or water around just in case of cotton-mouth or if you start to feel anxiety, this helps me! Try not to smoke on an empty stomach (have some food or munchies in your stomach). =Judy= Posted via Mobile Device |

Rep Power: 3186 | Re: Rapid Heart Beat While Smokeing.. GDP is a good night time strain for most of us. If you keep on having this problem, honestly you might want to give up the MMJ. Every now and then, it just doesn't work for some people. You seem to have a bad reaction to it. If you're insistant on smoking pot, perhaps smoke a couple of hits (one or two) with a friend you trust. That might make your experience more bareable. When I first started MMJ, I could get high off one hit (god, I wish I could now). Eventually, after months and months of daily smoking - You'll be able to smoke a joint and go to the gym. That takes a lot of tolerance. Sounds like you might be new to this, and your tolerance is extremely low. So, just take one hit off a pipe (avoid a bong for a while) and see what happens. Enjoy your extremely low tolerance while it's still there. Won't be for long. |
