Hi all..I have posted here a few times a long long time ago. I am a 23 y/o female, I have been a smoker for about 5 years. I first started smoking because other people were (hehe..yay peer pressure!) but figured out very quickly that marijuana is absolutely the best migraine medication on the market. Over the years my smoking has progressed to daily use just cuz it makes life so much more damn tolerable lol. Last year I was smoking up to 4 bowls a day or more if I could. I have backed off over the last few months because I have started having heart palpitations. I have them when I am not stoned too and a month or so ago I saw a doctor who said he didn't think they are anything to be concerned about. They are not painful just funny feeling and I have about 1-4 a day on average but lately I have been noticing that when I am stoned they are more frequent, up to 3 in a 1 hour period. I did not mention the fact that I used marijuana to the doc, I am wondering if this happens to anyone else?? Does anyone know if marijuana is bad for your heart?? I stopped smoking for a few days over the thanksgiving holiday as I was out of town with family and got ripped tonight (first day home) and almost immediately started noticing palpitations. I am seriously considering putting down the pipe as it were, which would be hugely, hugely sad. Any advice ???
