man, every once in a while I get real high and for some reason I am conscious of my fucking heartbeat... its annoying. Cant relax cuz I am focused on it beating in my chest lol it sucks. Not all the time but sometimes. I try breathing exercises but no luck and now i cant sleep. This happen to anyone? what do you do?
 
that is anxiety. Weed is known to increase heart rate. Try not to let it bug you out. just remember this is a side effect of the drug and you CHOSE to smoke/eat it because you like the effects it produces. Anytime i get a lil too baked and start to panic i just tell myself "this is what i wanted, this is why i smoke it". If you can't say that and agree with yourself perhaps you should just not smoke?
 
This happens rarely for me but usually lying down and breathing really deeply helps.
This sounds like retarded but if you close your eyes and just visualize something really serene and peaceful it can do wonders to slowing your heartbeat as it takes your mind off it.
 
This happens all the time to me on buds, but this can be REALLY bad on Jwh-018...like ten times worse. When it happens I get ahold of my self and do some light breathing meditation and it goes away.
 
Anxiety. Try not to focus on it... it generally goes away for me as soon as I get involved in something else.

come to think of it... all day yesterday i've been bugging out about the plane ride i have to take tomorrow so that could be the stress i was experiencing... i definitely wasnt "too high" or paranoid or anything like that. No negative thoughts and such but I was nervously thinking about this trip from san diego to jersey... I fucking hate airplanes lol

is it kinda like when you pay attention to your own breathing so much that you can't stop focusing on it? feels like if you stop focusing on it, you might stop breathing?
 
THis is very common and you will get used to a fast heartrate.

Listen to some music loud, this will help a lot, and remind yourself that while weed will raise your heartrate the effects of being stoned will make it seem faster than it is and nobody has ever had a heart problem while high, even when people smoke truckloads and flip out so bad they end up in the ER.

That's what works for me, but also the more you smoke the less this will bothe ryou, it's part of getting used to weed.
 
ha no this doesnt happen to me but i do get really focused on a bunch of other random shit and its annoying so i know what you mean lol. i just listen to music or somethin, that always gets my mind off random shit when im baked.

For me Jwh isnt as bad on the anxiety side as long as I stay in the proper dosage range, But if dose is exceeded I can see what your saying. But weed on the other hand gives me anxiety more often than not. Like Moral decay said...it comes with the territory!

When I first started getting high (back when I used to actually get REALLY baked) this used to happen to me really frequently. Can't say I've experienced a similar sort of "focus" on my heartbeat though!
 
Hey~

What's happening to you is normal, and not a cause for alarm. It happens to me, and quite a few people I know. The last time I was in Amsterdam, I bought some space cakes, which had handy directions on them about racing heart issues, as well as others. If you smoke and find yourself to have tachycardia, (rapid heart rate) it is a good idea to eat some sugar. For some reason, this helps... When I first read this on the space-cake baggie, I thought it was silly, or maybe had something to do with getting the munchies... But this was a couple of years ago, and ever since then, whenever I get *tachy* I'll have a piece of candy, or a soda, even. It seems to help- strange, but true! The best thing is not to let it get the best of you- getting nervous about it only makes it happen more. Just grab a candy bar, or your fave non-diet soda or fruit drink. It will help:)
T.D.
 
I get this too sometimes when I'm on acid, but I almost always find it happening when I smoke weed.
I got absolutely nothing to be anxious about, and next thing I know I'm thinking non-stop about my heartbeat and wondering if it's going too fast, which of course increases the heartbeat even more :/
 
Yeah thishappens to me too. I think it happens when I smoke a shit load at once like out of a bong or a bunc of hits from a blunt. Try smoking just little bowls in a pipe and it won't happen
 
i've had it before where I thought I was gonna be the first person to ever die from weed. I know thats stupid but I thought it. I laid down for alittle and it went away. JWH-018 I did too much and thought i was gonna die for a few minutes...mostly because it felt like my heart was about to explode and jwh-018 doesn't have the safety record of marijuana. It was also pretty much impossible to measure my heartrate because I was sooo high.

Lol, Thats pretty funny and I've been there also brother, Thats the one thing I dont like about brownies, I think everytime I ate them I always eat to much, then eat some more, Then I sit there and think to myself, Im gonna be the first guy to hit the dirt eating brownies.
The last time I consumed way to much grand daddy purp brownies and I swear I was jacked for like 6 hours, couldnt wait for it to go away, next time I think I'll eat half.
