Hi @ all

I am a new member on here. Male 35, 75 KG.

Was trying to get some help and information about an issue I am facing right now.

I took my first and only trip on magic mushrooms over half a year ago.

It was a mega dose of around 5 - 10 grams dry golden teachers.

Since then my heart beat is racing like crazy and won't calm down again.

resting pulse was 60 before, now it is 90.

Pulse even goes up to 120 and higher over the day.

Can somebody explain this to me and maybe guide me in the right direction on how to solve this?

Thank you very much!
 
I doubt it's because of the mushrooms...have you had any lifestyle/diet changes lately? Also I think heart rate/blood pressure can increase from being more sedentary as well as just with age.
 
Do you have mental contents that trouble you? Do you experience nervousness? Was the trip challenging? Do you have trauma background?

I am almost certain it is psychosomatic. While extremely intensive serotonergic drug abuse can cause cardiovascular conditions, single shroom trip should not do that, or at least there is no known mechanism and it is so rare it is not recognized phenomenon.

I did low carb / carnivore the two years before that. I do not know if that changes anything. I stopped drinking while I did this.


heart rate and blood pressure were just fine all my life prior to this. ( and this does not change overnight )

it only changed the moment of the first time on psychs, so it can not really be from being more sedentary. because it changed over night, just like that, and not over time. Age is not the cause either in my opinion because this would not had happened if I did not took it that day.

Please correct me, if I am missing anything here.

I also don't want to call the substance the boogeyman. ( if it sounds like that for some people, it is not my intention at all )

It is just the last variable that changed everything.
 
I have a natural normal pulse of 90, but if you were at 60 before, a 30 point increase may indicate something has/is happening. I would suggest visiting a GP and then, if possible, a cardiologist; Years ago I was checking out the same issue and found out that I have LVH and got prescribed nebivolol which is a selective beta blocker, a medication made especially for this particular condition.

Also, you're at the age where our body naturally changes/gets older; we change with time and what was once not a problem, may now be of upcoming concern. Either way, if this is concerning you, it should be checked out by a specialist. It's shrooms or age or something else might not be as important as treating it.
 
Update from my primary gp

Doc told me after a short ( 1 minute ) EKG it is tachycardia
and gave me Bisoprolol; 1.25 mg 1x daily

So is it possible to develop tachycardia from the first mega dose of magic mushroom ?​


And the question is can it be mental or is it physical ?

Or is it possible that there was a issues before hand and the trip only triggered the racing heart beat in this situation?

I doubt there's any research done on this topic. I think it can be both physical and mental in some ways. Have you been more anxious since the mega dose? That could play a role. But also tachycardia can just develop over time. You probably didn't notice or it just happened fairly quickly. I doubt the shrooms are to blame. But you never know
