i'm not sure whats happening to me , this week. last friday i had chest pains like someone was squeezing my let chest , i frist took an adivan thinking i was haveing a pani attack, then realized i was sweating very bad, so i took my bp and i was 145 over 111 and pr of 106. i was sitting at the computer at the time, i called my DR but the nurse failed to give it to him, she decided i was just scared, well' i got to him monday and he did an EKG, which i thin k came out ok my bp goe's to normal, i have to i don't feel well

i also have had these problems, im 23. mine felt like some one squeezing the air out of my lungs, i got real dizzy and felt like i was gonna faint. I fell to my knees and i started having bad cold sweats. this happend when i was getting a drink of water, they took an ekg and said i had a mild heart attack.

i figured im too young for that why did it happen , my Dr. said it could be stress related. Heart problems are also a major problem in my family in the older men, accept my cousin Jason passed away at age 28 2 years ago from a massive infarction. Just this week i found out my younger cousin Jared age 20 has been fainting do too extreamly low blood preasure.

Im starting to see problems for me later in the future if i don't keep in shape, Weight is also a factor. my Dr. told me to be on a strict low to no sodium intake.

basically what im trying to say is just monitor your vitals, im sure if your ekg was fine you should be fine. If any of the above applys to you stay on top of it and dont let it escalate. talk to your Dr. he/ she will be able to give more pertinent advice.

I had something very similar happen to me over the labor day weekend. I was struggling to breath, had chest pain. When I was admitted to the emergency room BP was 222/160, and began sweating badly. When the cardiologist did an ultra sound of my heart, he told me the heart is operating at only 30% and that I had had 2 recent mild heart attacks. I thought he was trying to scare me because I smoke cigarrettes. Several days later when I went to see my regular Dr, and told him what had happened, he informed me that 25% of all heart attacks are silent and you don't even know your having one. They loaded me up on B/P meds. The B/P then went down too low 80/55. They had to adjust the meds. Hope this info helps.

well i was wrong about the EKG being fine, it was abnormal so my primary care DR increased my my meds by 10 mgs, one at night and one at day, but the only time i could get into the Cadioligist is the 10th of next month, i'm scared, so my partner is going to take the EKG to the Cardio DR monday so he can see it and decide if i need to come in sonner, their is something wrong forsure, but what else is new it's always something i swear i need a break soon, either it's infection or vomiting and nasusa on a daliy basis, i guess i'm tired abit, and i need to get the hell out of the house, but i can't, i'm home bound almost bed bound, but i refuse to quit and just lay down and die, never ay die!!!!! i will get thu this no matter what it takes, and i have a great DR.they have done more than a few EKG and this is the frist one to be abnormal, it's about time!! they have just been waiting for something to go wrong with me till they do anything, but my DR belives in prevention, thank god for that!! i have to go and partake of some meds with chomps oil and master kush juice on my buds, and i hope that will make me feel better,,, thankd]s for your replys,,, Endlessssky and RN4mmj:partysmile:

Hi Endlessly,

I know that you enjoy Green Crack as one of your preferred meds. Often times, a strong sativa can cause a rapid heartbeat, even bordering on a heart thumping. I know that I experience this when over doing it with Skywalker, or other very potent OG's. When this happens, it is a very uncomfortable feeling. I personally have thought I was having a heart attack a time or two during an episode like this.

Perhaps, until you've got things worked out, it might be reasonable to consider medicating with only Indica dominant strains?

I hope that you and your doctors get things worked out soon, and that you can find comfort again, without panic.

Take care, and have a nice weekend!

Aloha Everyone,

I know that feeling. But first i should let you know that before this whole Medical Cannabis Prop. 215 and SB 420. I was getting high the illegal way like everyone else! I did it all Meth, Ludes, Acid/Speed, Marijuana, Beer & Hard Liquar!

One night i was taking a shower and for some reason i could see the water hitting my face and my body but i couldn't feel it and i blacked out! i woke up in the Hospital ER and there was one noise that i focused on right away! The Heart Monitor was BEEPING really fast i turned my head towards the fast BEEPING and i saw the number 217 on a screen filled with zig zaging lines!!! I was just waiting to die calm and i accepted it, then the doctor came in with a needle filled with something! He put the needle into my IV and he injected it VERY SLOWLY! i can see the number go down from 217 to 190 then the Dr. stopped. My heart stayed at 190 and the Dr came back and did it again, the number went from 190 to 180 and he stopped, he did that over & over again until my heart rate was down to 75 and 80. Then he came to and ask "What drug i was using?" i request that whole Doctor/Patient thing Dr. Agreed and i told him Meth, Acid, Speed & Beer a whole lotta BEER! Then the Doctor did the whole battery of tests on me EKG, Untra Sound on my heart and huge arteries in my Legs & Arms and x-rays. He told me that my heart was still in Very Good Condition and that i did not have a heart attack. My body was reacting very badly to all the drugs/chemicals i put into my body. I survived because i had a Very Strong Heart! But he told me to STOP the illicit drug use. i quit cold turkey the Meth, Acid/speed, ludes, beer everything but the Marijuana! Because i saw it as everything else was Man Made drugs and Marijuana was a natural plant!

So, to this point when i get a fast heart rate, heavy breathing, cold sweats, chills & trembles i know what it is. It's not as intense as the attack that put me in the ER. It's just the Sativa's doing what they're supposed to do, the same with some powerful Indica's. So, here's what i do.

I sit on my most comfortable lazy boy recliner. I have my TV remote and a can of carbonated water (flavored) with NO CAFFEINE watch my favorite re-run, take a drink and here's the thing, i BURP. I can feel my chest lighten up and i can feel my heart beat less or slower, it's still fast but not as fast as before. I BURP again and i feel better before i knew it i woke up the following morning my good ole self, heat beat normal, BP is normal!

I just drank, belched and relaxed and did that a few more times until i just feel asleep on my lazy boy! That was it!

Now That's just me!!!
That's what happened to me!!!

TakeCare Everyone! I hope y'all find what helps you most! Aloha Nui Loa :o)

Endlessly, I admire your attitude, NEVER give up and fight till the very last breath.

[endlesssky]

yes i am very aware of the sativa's reaction, and useally go for a hybrid, never a stright up sativa,, which why i got my rec, on the street noone can tell me if it's indica or sativa, they just look at me funny, i know it's the bomb bomb man, everyone says that BS about bud from the street, anyway GC don'st seem to bother me or blue dream, i have had a few sativa 's that i reacted to, so i am very carefull, but the thing is Addisons has alot to do with my BP, but it uesally it drops and you go into shock, not high, they think it's the hepc, ive been sick along time, and they have heard this irregular heart beat for years, i just can't seem to convince them that it's serious, my primary care DR takes me serious though, and we will remeady this, they are talking about a esophgeal band for the varicies so i don't bleed to death, if i start to vomit blood again, now the blood is comeing out the other end now must be a hemmroid, sure was alot of blood in the toilet, but i called my partner at work and she seems think i am ok, just a hemmroid, ok, well i will see ya later and thank kushmiester for the advice, i have been watching it, thanks for careing so much,, Endlesssky and Rn4mmj:partysmile:ps you all have a great time at the partys tonight , smoke one for me!!!!E

That's how I do it too!!! I feel a warmth come over me, my heartrate spikes, I feel lightheaded......I burp.....it goes away.

I found out that I have a hiatal (sp?) hernia that bumps into my vagus nerve. The nerve gets irritated and affects my heart rate and other bodily functions. When I burp, it relieves the pressure and stops it. Google the vagus nerve and it will tell you all the wierd effects it can have on you because of the parts of the body it connects with.

Endlessly, if I were you and saw lots of blood it the toilet I'd get to a Dr quick. Passing blood is not a good thing.

Endless - I had a heart attack about three months ago. I am 38 years old. My cholesterol was 175 and my blood pressure was 120/60 before the heart attack so I did not have any warning signs. I was swimming laps when my shoulder started to hurt very badly. I thought I had just pulled a muscle in my shoulder. My better half made me go to the ER. When at the ER I had an EKG and within 30 seconds they new I was having a heart attack. I was expecting someone to jump out and yell you have been punked. It was no joke. I had angioplasty and a stint put in my lower valve. I feel better then I have in ten years because I am no longer tired and it has scared me in to quitting, cold turkey, a three pack a day habit. After speaking with other people who have had a heart attack the one constant was the feeling that if you could use the restroom or throw up I would feel all better. The reason for all this information is does not hesitate to go for help if you have the signs. The worst case scenario is you are told you are fine and best case scenario is mine is the doctors catch the heart attack and stop/decrease the damage a heart attack does to your most important muscle. If I had not had Marsha with me I would have gone to sleep the night of the attack and I would not be typing now according to my cardiologist. Please feel free to PM me because I will provide you any and all information I have. I hope this helps.

Never give in, just fight, fight fight! Naps are okay inbetween fights!

[PakaloloPrince]

endlessky,

All i can say is WOW! you have been through hell and back! I know this may sound silly but did the doctor's check your ears for any ruptures that could cause an ear infection? I've read & heard that there are nerve's up there that can effect your equallibrium (sp) or ur balance that can lead to so many things???

This is truly a Mystery and i wish you a future free of Pain!

I hope the Doctors can find what's causing your problem! So i ditto almost everyone on the thread! KEEP FIGHTING endlessky!
