Heart palpitations due to excess Marijuana?!


Question: Heart palpitations due to excess Marijuana!?
I have smoked a lot of weed in the past 4 years!. I figure I go through about an ounce a week of my own stuff, so I am smoking a fair pit!. I have been smoking it all day, everyday!.

I have been experiencing heart palpitations, so I went to the doctor and I did blood work and ECG test!. I have been giving beta blockers to take when I feel a palp but I have only taken one so far and that was yesterday!.

Could the palpitations go away from not using marijuana for a month or so!? Would it be safe to start using marijuana again but only a few dubies a week!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Marajuana is well-known to cause heart palpitations due to the stimulant effect that they have on your sympathetic nervous system!. Anything from a racing heart to sweating and even panic attacks can be caused by "too much" marajuana!. Of course "too much" is determined by your individual response to the drug, so I can't say for certain what the "safe" amount would be (from a cardiac standpoint), but I would say that you should try to wean yourself off the heavy use and try to make due with the occasional indulgence!. You probably won't need the beta blockers if you get down to a level of marajuana that your body can handle (but I'm not a cardiologist, so don't stop taking anything that they have prescribed without their advice)!.

Perhaps the following may be of interest to you!. The marijuana plant comes into a female plant and a male plant!. Both are harvested and mixed into the final grass blend!. This would be of no consequence but the female plant contains about 10 times as much active ingredient (the chemical compound causing the high) as the male!. As the manufacturer of the grass mixture is not exactly following the quality control rules prescribed by the Pharmacopea Americana, it can happen and it does, tha you are getting a lot with too much active ingredient in other words an overdosis!. This is what happened to you!. In extreme cases this phenomenon has been known to cause the death of the patient!. But as far as I am concerned please go on smoking weed!. One can bring a horse to the river but one cannot make it drink!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
