Is It Safe To Smoke Pot While Having Heart Palpitations?
My friend has had a defib and pacemaker fitted, has a bad back problem and is overweight. My concern is he smokes a lot of pot (for the pain) , and says that his cardiologist said it was fine . he recently had bad palpitations and was taken to hospital. I m not sure he told them how much pot he smokes. Could the pot be a problem and should he continue.?

hi dear
cannabis ,nicotine are by itself one of the most important cause of palpitations
smoking is the sole risk factor for most of the cardiac diseases,keep all risk factor on one side and smoking(nicotine) on one ....they are equal
smoking cannabis should be stopped as soon as possible
he already had a defibrilator in his heart, any palpitation from tachycardia to a fib can be precipitated because of smoking
so my answer to to stop smoking as soon as possible
try to ado[pt a heathy life style
do 45 minutes of exercise daily and follow meds
thanks
