What Causes Faster Heart Beat And Sore Chest After Smoking Marijuana?
hello, first off.. i am very healthy
i have been smoking synthetic marijuana for a while.. i have vowed to stop after yesterday.. yesterday i smoked and soon after my heart was beating fast and hard for a minute. i was terrified.. and now my chest is sore and there is a lil soreness in my arm? what could it be? what should i do?
Hello the impurities in synthetic marijuana as well as other stimulants added to give a more stronger kick to the user are the commonest reason which your heart raced and soreness in the chest occurred . Per say marijuana itself can cause the above symptoms, so it's a good thing that you have decided to refrain yourself from future use . As soon as the substance is cleared from your body it should be good . A good sleep , food and avoidance any more stimulants would be good enough . However if symptoms persists or increase in severity , it's wise you consult a doctor who can physically examine you and check you blood pressure. Regards Dr Priyank Mody
