Will Smoking Bring Adverse Effect On Hear While Under Bystolic Medication?

So my doc informed me that he is going to put me on 2.5 mg daily of bystolic because we just learned that i have svt and they think it will help. The thing is that im a recreational weed smoker and im curious if smoking while im taking bystolic will cause more problems for my heart.

Frankly, to be honest, doubtful smoking weed is going to hurt.

Oh, there are people who have allergies to marijuana who get chemical burns from it. I've seen two people in whom it triggers allergies. Lung irritation generally makes heart twitichiness worse.

BUT, this is not anywhere near the general case. Furthermore, these effects would occur Right When You Are smoking. You would notice the association really really clearly.

Puff-SVT, Puff-SVT, Puff-SVT...... if that happens, then it's a problem. Doubt that it has.

Marijuana doesn't have much drug interactions. While bystolic is particularly sensitive to interactions with other drugs a 3 to SIX-FOLD increase in it due to paxil .... didn't do anything.
