Yes they can have side effects that compound each other. Some of those include palpitations and orthostatic hypotension, which can easily make you syncopize (pass out) and possibly hit your head on the floor.
I would suggest telling your doctor that you smoke marijuana in order to increase your appetite and see what they think about it.
