What Causes Rapid Heart Beat After Smoking Cannabis?
Well doctor, i didn't want it to come to this. But I'm 22 I've smoked weed for years, lots at a time and could never get too high. Recently my tolerance dropped tremendously. Within a few minutes of only taking ONE hit I start to feel like my heart is well over 120 bpm and I start sweating. I can't talk, I can't lay down, I can't walk. It's like I'm going to die or something. I've done it a few times to see if it wouldn't happen again..but it does. It's far worse than an anxiety attack. I just don't see how I could smoke a lot at a time and be able to do anything (run, play basketball, take tests) all just fine. And now one little hit literally puts my in a concious coma..whats happened to me?

Hello, I understand just how you are feeling.
-You are having palpitations, which most of the time do not pose any danger. They can just be very scary. Smoking, drinking, use of illicit substances worsen palpitations, that is why you are feeling this way.
- To help reduce the palpitation, stop smoking, continue exercising and always get enough sleep. Warm regards
