I am someone who easily notices my heartrate. Thats when im not even high. Now when I am high I freak out every time thinking im guna have a heart attack even though I know its highly unlikely. I mean you cannot OD on weed but it can help you have a heart attack right? So how do i ignore my mega fast heartbeat or how do i slow it down? It ruins part of the fun.
That used to happen to me. My heart would beat fast, which made me panic. Then, in return, the panic made it beat faster. EVERYONE'S heart beats fast when theys moke weed; it's one of the normal effects. You just have to learn not to worry about it, because when you worry about it, it just makes your heart beat faster. Stay busy with something so as to keep your mind off of your heartrate. It's not gonna hurt you if your heart is beating fast. And I know, it's beating more than a "little" fast. Mine used to do the same thing, but it never beats too fast until you start to worry about it, so don't. It's basically just a panic attack. When it used to happen to me, I would focus on it so much and begin to panic, that it would get so fast......like 150-200bpm, and I would eventually pass out and have a seizure type reaction. It's all in your head though. If you don't worry about it, it won't even matter. The elevated heartrate is just part of being high, as is paranoia, and it's not a good combination. Just relax.
marijuana is technically an upper.. since it does radically increase your heart rate.. but... at the same time chills you the fuck out.. crazy huh?
When I notice my heart beating fast, I take really deep belly breaths, breathing in and counting 1-2 then breathing out 1-2-3-4. And I usually take around 20 breaths just focusing on counting. After some time has passed, I retake my heart rate and note how much it has slowed from just breathing. You arn't going to have a heart attack. Hearts run marathons, react to bear attacks, and do amazzzzing things, much more intense then anything you can scare yourself into, and they continue to beat constantly and strong.
that happens to me alot, too. especially if i'm super high i just relax, and lay down for a bit until i feel at ease again.
^^^damn topnotch thats crazy did u used to have to get medical attention when you had that reaction to the op just try to ignore it take some deep breaths and calm yourself down,put some headphones on and listen to some music that is my favorate thing to do when stoned is to jus chill and listen to my ipod ,once your listening to the music you probly wont be able to hear your heartbeat that much anymore
That is very similar to what I was about to say. I quit smoking for a couple months because my heart would race, and I would feel uncomfortable. But recently I got some, and when I smoked I meditated for about 20 minutes. This worked, and now it doesn't even happen when I smoke. here's a cool site: http://www.do-not-zzz.com/index2.html
Nope. I kept smoking. The first time it happened was when I smoked my first blunts. Me and two friends were at the mall riding around smoking on two fatass blunts of dank, probably about 2.5g each. After the blunts were roached, we stepped out of the truck and I immediately fell flat on my face and my face bounced off the pavement and I started convulsing. It took me about an hour to fully regain conciousness, only after my cousin and my friend kept slapping the fuck out of me and giving me water. Then we went and saw a movie in the mall, most of which I slept through. After the movie.......I smoked my third blunt:spliff:
I have hyperthyroidism, and i am brutally aware of my heartbeat. i cant do yoga without sitting down in between poses. if it seems your beat is too fast/ slow or irregular, ask a doc. you could have a mild arrhythmia or another problem that can be fixed. otherwise, be aware of your heartbeat and when it is most noticeable.
When you think yuor heart is going fast it's actually going extremley slow compared to what it would take to have a heart attack. It wouldnt happen.
