Heart Beating Fast, Body Shaking, Jaw Shivering, Breathing Difficulty After Smoking Marijuana. Why?
Well I smoke marijuana and the other day I smoked just two blunts and freaked out which is weird cause I have smoked way more than that at one time but I was feeling fine then all of the sudden my heart spread up and was beating fast my body was shaking and my jaw was like shivering and it was somewhat hard to breathe I tried to think of what it could be but I didn't know that day all I did was wake up smoke a little pot smoked cigarettes then took some Bayer asprin then I smoked a cigar and inhaled which i never smoke cigars and then smoked two blunts and that's all that lead up to my trip I also was told by my grandpa cavities can cause heart attacks so that scared me cause I have a few really bad ones and my dad was diagnosed scitsaphinic after smoking laced pot and it could be genetic now I am concerned that something might be wrong with me
Dear Sir/Madam Thanks for writing to us. Marijuana use is known to be associated with increased heart rate, features of anxiety, shivering , higher blood pressure etc. However the correlation between heart attack and marijuana is not proven beyond doubt. There are reports linking the two. I am also not comfortable with this feeling of shortness of breath. I would advise you to see your physician / internist and get evaluated. There may be something organic (bodily) behind these symptoms. Sincerely Sukhvinder
