Suggest Treatment For Rapid Heart Rate And Palpitations
Hi, I'm a 21 year old female and I smoked marijuana about 22 days ago. Right after smoking my heart started racing and I had an anxiety attack, it was really scary. Since then I haven't touched a blunt and I will never smoke again, but my heart rate is still kind of high and I'm still experiencing heart palpitations what should I do? Will they go away?
Your heart rate can go up after emotional outbursts and anxiety.
It can also happen after using marijuana or other recreational drugs.Nothing much to worry and it will settle by it own.
