Funny... I'm glad you posted this!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 have often eaten because it takes my mind off of the cannabis-induced tachycardia or other panic symptom. I will try to focus on sugary candy next time it happens, though, to see how this works!
