What Causes Rapid Heart Rate While Smoking Marijuana?

Hi, I smoked marijuana last night and my heart beat was insanely fast. I felt it pumping through my shirt. It wasn t a panic attack because I ve been a smoker for a few years but stopped for a while. As of recently i picked it back up and this has started ever since. What should i do?

Hello

First thing is to stop smoking marijuana.
Then, avoid other caffeinated drinks.
Try to cope with stress.

Eat healthy.
If no improvement, should consult further with cardiologist and run a few cardiac tests (EKG, echocardiogram, Holter monitoring).

Hope this helps.
