Any ever thing they are having a heart attack when they smoke? Any one ever have a heart attack, whats it like what are the warning signs?
I have thought I was having a heart attack a few times, but I was just really stoned and having panic attacks and ended up having seizures and getting concussions and shit.
When I was new to smoking I thought I was having a heart attack on a couple of occasions. I remember the second time it happened I actually fell to the ground and started crying I was so scared. I never feel like that anymore..though a couple of months ago I took my pulse while stoned and it was insanely high.
sometimes my chest hurts and my pulse is high, but i think you can only have a heart attack if you are freaking out with a panic attack but im probably wrong.
Unless you already have a pre-existing medical problem that might lead to a heart attack I don't think you'll have one from smoking marijuana. It seems like if that was the case the anti-drug coalition would be all over that scare tactic!
Signs that you are having a heart attack: chest pain (duh) pain in the left arm difficulty breathing there's a chance that it can happen with no warning, though.
Let me set this straight (incase you don't know I am an EMT and I have many friends and family memebers in the health care business, mainly emergency medicine): A Myocardial Infarction, or Heart Attack, is when a blood vessel taht supplies oxygen to the heart is blocked and that part of the heart muscle does not receive oxygen. Ussually this results in heart muscle fibers in the area to die. Intaking Marijuana (whether through eating or smoking) results in (ussually) slight increases in heart rate. The effect is ussually minor and the increased heart rate is almost never something to worry about (unless you have heart problems). It will almost never lead to a heart attack unless the person has small blood vessels, high risk of heart attack, etc. Something pretty much has to be wrong with the heart/circulatory system to begin with. The heart hrate increase is even lower than what it would be when running or doing some other physical exercise. If you can run w/o having a heart attack you are pretty much golden. Note: The reason I am using words like "pretty much" and "ussually" is because there are always freak reports of things happening and chances that they COULD happen, but will most likely not. P.S. I am not trying to sound like I am talking down to anyone, just want to make sure everyone knows what they need to know. Oh and signs of heart attacks are as mentioned in a previous post, and: A heavy or crushing feeling of the chest (a common complaint is that it feels like an elephant is sitting on their chest), sense of impending doom (as with most life threatening situations you feel as if you will die), heart rate will most likely become weak (not slow, but weak) and fast, there are many other signs but those are the main ones.
Dude I would like to hear a more detailed story about when you had a seizure on weed. Like how did it happen? were you on other drugs? etc... about the heart attack thing it never happend to me. I had researched quite a bit about cannabis be4 startin smokin and already knew even b4 my first time that it would be impossible to have such a thing from weed...
never when i smoke cause i know its just my mind trying to freak me out..but my friend passed out once next to me he said his chest hurt...we where on coke and X so we where pretty fucking wired ...so i gave him some diazepam...and he was like..chaaaaaaaaaaaa
Coke AND X?! ARE YOU NUCKING FUTS?! You are lucky you didn't die, seriously. I've had patients who died from drugs, and the ones who mix the drugs are the worst. One guy took speed and smoked MJ and his heart might as well have exploded. You are lucky you or your friend's heart didn't just stop.
yeah im never doing it again the thing is that we dint realized how powerful the X we took actually was so we overshot it a bit.now that u brought it up i wanna say that combinations are truly the most lethal things to do dont mix uppers with downers and dont take too much fucking coke lol
budtoker youre too negative. every thread i see you talking about how bad drugs are for you and how you know everything about the health risks and such.
Sorry for not wanting people to overdose and die! I save people for a living, it's my job. Don't make my job harder by overdosing! Hell I do drugs, I ain't gonna lie. The problem I have is that people are misinformed about drugs and that's when they get into some serious shit and I have to pick their asses up off of the damn puke soaked carpet...I hate OD patients, they are the worst! DON'T OD! That is why I am telling y'all the info. And if you say I am negative in every post, um you have only picked to look at the posts you want to look at. I have only posted negatively about drugs in 3 topics (that I can remember) because people were misinformed. All my other posts have been about how much I should take, my experiences, etc. I think people should take drugs, in moderation, if they want. I post my posts and ask my questions because: 1. I want people to be informed so they don't die or end up with permenant damage 2. I don't want to OD when I try certain drugs. If you don't like my posts then you can ignore them. Oh and I do know about most of the "health risks and such". My job is to know about them. I have experience with treating the people who use drugs. Not only that but I have many ties (friends and family) who work (or did work) in health care positions....so yes, I know a hell of a lot about medical information (including drug use), and what I don't know I can easily find out from many sources.
As far as I can tell budtokers post are good, he help me here didnt he. Thanks for all the replys BTW.
No, it was just weed. I have done heroic doses of many drugs, but nothing like that has ever happened with anything besides weed. The first time it happened was the first time I smoked some blunts, about 7 years ago. We smoked 2 blunts(about 7g total) of some dank ass nugs back to back between 3 people. We were at the mall. After we finished the blunts, we got out of the truck we were in and I immediately collapsed and my head bounced off the pavement in the mall parking lot and I began having convulsions. I was out of it for about 45 minutes and my friends kept slapping me and throwing water on my face and shit like that. I eventually came out of it and we watched a movie at the theater, which I slept through. Later that night, I smoked my third blunt:spliff: This has happened 10+ times throughout my smokin career, but has never happened on any other drugs......crazy. Whenever it happens, it is accompanied by an insane heart rate, usually 175+bpm. People say I am insane for continuing to smoke, but whatever......I can't help that I'm a pothead. hahaha
