LSD effects on the heart

[Balltripper1]

Okay, I have tripped on acid at least 10 times and the last few times it feels like it has been putting too much strain on my heart. 2 days ago I ate 8 hits of some amazing white on white blotter, and my guy said each hit was 5 by 9mm which looked like 2 hits together. What looked like a regular 10-strip was only 5 hits so it looked like I ate about 16 hits total. The first 4 hours or so of my trip were absolutely mind-blowing in every way, but after a while it started getting noticeably hard to breath. My heart was beating incredibly fast to the point where I was getting scared. It felt like it was beating out of my chest and every time I exhaled all the way it felt like my heart was actually hitting something in my chest and would begin to beat faster. It was scaring me so much, I was convinced that I was going to have a heart attack of just straight up die. My hands started getting a really unsettling tingling feeling in them, which would come for about 20 minutes, go away for a bit and then come back again. I was sincerely worried for my health. I have never had a problem like this on mushrooms, even when I ate 5 grams. But even when I only take 2 hits of acid my heart feels this way, just not as much. But I have to keep in mind that I have done a lot of research chemicals including 2ce, 2ci, 4-aco-dmt, mxe, methylone and 6apb. Has anyone else experienced this when taking a higher dose of LSD?

go to the doctor, take an angiography. You are probably just being paranoid but it's always better to be safe than sorry

Honestly going to the doctor isn't really an option for me right now, and it only feels this way when im on acid specifically.

 

[gymstud]

thats a panic attack mate in doctors they will tell you same i hope

Yeah, you will be amazed at what acute anxiety can do and make you feel physically. When you are having an anxiety attack it certainly can make you feel like you're dying or that your heart is about to explode. LSD can be somewhat anxiogenic anyway, which may contribute to starting to have a panic attack. The only way to resolve it is to keep "practicing" as it were. Practice meditation techniques (seriously, this will really help you), and also practice them under the influence of your chosen psychedelic. Try to understand where the anxiety is coming from, what deep repressed thoughts are instigating it. Remembering and confronting these things can really help to liberate you. Smoking weed will always make things worse, it is one of the most anxiogenic drugs in my opinion, so try to stay away from that if you're feeling anxious. And remember that LSD has never caused any human deaths in over 60 years of use and millions of trips, and will not cause you to have a heart attack or stop breathing, so you don't have to worry about that.

That makes sense because i really didnt start feeling like that until i smoked some kush. It helped a lot when i would focus on my breathing and take deep slow breaths, but it was hard to focus on it the entire time and when I would stop my heart would go crazy again. I felt like this the entire rest of the trip, i didnt feel completely better until i slept.

It happened to me once. I was a bit nervous, then heart started beating fast, then I got nervous about heart, and it snowballed.
But after a while I told myself about the decades of safe use of LSD all over the world without a single heart attack. So I went fine again.

It's all in your mind.

 

[1394]

did you consume something like MDMA after all of this happened? What I'm tryin to say is, E's strain the heart a lot and if you didn't react badly to it chances are it's just anxiety.

BTW, don't take anything for granted, I'd go to the doctor if I were you, you said you couldn't go because of certain circumstances, what circumstances are these? If you are scared of blood testing for drugs rule that out, I'm talking about a standard check up.

Well, I took a capsule of pure mdma like 2 weeks ago and i didn't experience anything like this that i remember. I guess i just had a really bad anxiety attack, not to mention I have pretty bad anxiety to start with. But the duration of it was much longer then any anxiety attack I have ever had. I suppose the lsd made me over-aware of it and my thoughts just built upon themselves and I lost control. Im not gonna take that much lsd at one time for a while, im gonna wait a couple months or so and then take like 2 hits. Ill just stick to mushrooms for my heroic dose trips.

How much did you take when that happened?

There's your problem. Weed has turned an alright trip into a bad one for me a handful of times. When it plays nice with your trip it can be amazing, but it really is one of the most anxiety-inducing substances I've ever encountered. It also makes me super, super sensitive to internal sensations like muscle spasms, increases in heartbeat, nerve pain and the like, which is fucking dreadful during an anxiety attack. I only smoke while tripping if I've got lots of good vibes to feed off of or if I'm barely feeling the trip and want to bump it up. Otherwise I tend to leave well enough alone.

Half a tab of good acid. It was my 3rd trip, when anything used to get me anxious. Nowadays I can have 1 or 1,5 tab and I know how to control my anxiety (most of the time... lol)

Yeah it does give me a lot of anxiety sometimes, but I always end up smoking like 6 bowls while im tripping. Probably not a good idea on such a high dose

One time when I was on acid and smoked some weed, I got kind of panicky about my tongue, just its strange existence in my mouth and its independant nature. I couldn't figure out how to just relax it.

Sounds like you had a panic attack. The same thing happened to me when I smoked a bunch of hash while peaking on a high dose of lsd. Now i don't smoke weed while i'm trippin until after the peak. It happened to me twice. The first time it happened to me i thought i was having a heart attack and was going to die.

 

[vulcanus999]

I feel u on that. Ive gotten that on my trips. Just any standard panic attack, its happened while on lsd(I didnt realize till the following day i had it) & mescaline. But just to be sure get your heart checked out man. Mine is pretty jacked up from my fun so i accept all the consequences of it. I know my limits now.

 

[Fieldy]

This also happened to me on my 3rd trip when i introduced gravity bongs to the mix....My partner was the only thing grounding me back to reality....

thats weed and psychedelics for you. my friends brother once got taken in an ambulance to hospital and the paramedic asked him if he'd been bongin and he said yes and the guy said your having a panic attack. my friend and her brother were both on acid and she said it was so hard to keep a straight face after.

It's weird that everyone here seems to have real issues with weed and psychs. The only time weed ever sent me off the deep edge was because I smoked a ridiculously huge bowl, I was on more acid I had ever been on up to this point (Although I didn't know it until I smoked that fatty bowl). I find if I've gotten stoned before, during and after, it makes little to no difference. Then again I am a daily smoker, and have been for a while. I sometimes feel more normal stoned, than sober.
