I've tripped once in my life, and it didn't feel that great. I have hypertension, should that be a problem if i'm wanting to trip. The only time i tripped It felt like my heart was just going to explode, or was that the beginning of a bad trip?
 
its mostly in your mind. if you think you are going to have a bad trip you are much more likely to have one.

now about your heart-
i would exercise a bit more caution when using drugs like lsd and things that affect blood pressure and heart rate.
im not a doctor and i dont really know much about hypertension but hopefully someone else with more knowledge will be able to help.

can i ask what the set and setting were for your trip?
what kind of dose, any accounting factors to how you felt?
set and setting are the most important factors with any trip, my friend.
the mindset you are in at the time of the trip and the setting in which you choose to take your journey.
 
The setting was weird and was probably why i had it start off so bad, we were at a dealers house getting weed probably around +1:30 after having 1 and half tabs in my mouth. And we had to ride bikes back to my friends house.

I had no bad thoughts prior to feeling like my heart was going to explode.
 
I have never touched any other drugs than weed and acid just this once, so i would not know if it is a drug induced happening. The feeling has never happened when sober
 
how is your hypertension in your day to day life? how do you feel with your heart on the average day?
i would say err on the side of caution but keep in mind nobody has died as a result of taking lsd (save for the idiots who decided the roof is a good place for a test flight)
all types of people with all types of ailments from all walks of life.

lsd amplifies reality, what you are feeling could just be you are more aware of ur body or it could be because of elevated BP and heart rate.
if its any consolation i sometimes feel like my heart is racing on acid. usually when ive physically exerted myself or something stressful has happened.
normally though i tend to not get myself in those situations when trippin.

did you smoke weed on the trip? because cannabis potentiates most drugs and the synergy between LSD and ganja is simply astounding in my opinion and could easily and has been overwhelming to newcomers of lady lucy.
 
I too have mild hypertension, and while I can't enjoy things like MDMA or coke, Ive never had a problem on foolishly high doses of LSD. Unless you have really high blood pressure, that shits in your head - just let go mang.
 
Hi,
Lsd markedly lowered the blood pressure of renal hypertensive rats. Drops of 50–120 mm Hg below established hypertensive blood pressure levels occurred within 48 hr after drug administration. For the following 10–14 days the pressure fluctuated, and then returned to original hypertensive levels.
 
i have low blood pressure and still enjoy stims, coke,pills, rc's ........ its a life saver having low blood pressure, because the stims raise my blood pressure
