Suffering From Premature Ventricular Contractions
Is it okay to ride a roller coaster if I get occasional pvcs. I have never been able to feel them before and have never felt any discomfort.
As a separate question would it be fatal or harmful to ride a roller coaster with the same condition under the influence of marijauna

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
At low or moderate doses, cannabis leads to an increase in sympathetic activity and a reduction in parasympathetic activity, producing a tachycardia and increase in cardiac output. Chances of PVC, arrhythmia, sinus bradycardia, second-degree atrioventricular block and atrial fibrillation etc could be possible with cannabis use. In your case, PVC could be due to cannabis.
Thanks
