Heart problems?

Yes, If i get really really blazed standing up gives me a head rush for about 2-5 seconds

 

Happens all the time, just a head rush from all the blood rushing through your body from getting up quickly.

I get these even when I'm not high, it just seems more fucked up when you are. Nothing to worry about, it goes away quickly.

 

i duno what it is man to lasst 2 minuits, but sounds like a right laugh

 

What makes this odd is that both you and your friend experienced the same sensations. Must have been some good shit.

See if this might be what you experienced: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasovagal_syncope

If it's lasting more than a few seconds, that can be a sign that you have a heart rhythm problem, and you should get checked out by a cardiologist. Most people who have these problems typically aren't aware of the fact that it's there (it's usually asymptomatic), but if it progresses, symptoms start coming to the surface... Some of the red-flags: pre-syncope/syncope, racing heart, palpitations, chest pain/tightness, difficulty breathing, "hot-flashes", increased sweating, nausea, numbness/tingling in extremities -- and these sensations are typically relieved with sitting/lying down for a while, as this restores normal blood flow to the brain.

From eMedicine:

Pathophysiology Syncope occurs when cerebral perfusion globally decreases. Brain parenchyma depends on adequate blood flow to provide a constant supply of glucose, the primary metabolic substrate. Brain tissue cannot store energy in the form of high-energy phosphates found elsewhere in the body; therefore, a cessation of cerebral perfusion lasting only 3-5 seconds results in syncope. Cerebral perfusion is maintained relatively constant by an intricate and complex feedback system involving cardiac output, systemic vascular resistance, arterial pressure, cerebrovascular resistance with intrinsic autoregulation, and metabolic regulation. A clinically significant defect in any one of these or subclinical defects in several of these systems may cause syncope.

Any of the following may manifest as syncope. Cardiac output can be diminished secondary to mechanical outflow obstruction, pump failure, hemodynamically significant arrhythmias, or conduction defects. Systemic vascular resistance can drop secondary to vasomotor instability, autonomic failure, or vasodepressor/vasovagal response. Arterial pressure decreases with all causes of hypovolemia. A central nervous system (CNS) event, such as a hemorrhage or a seizure, can also present as syncope. Syncope can occur without reduction in cerebral blood flow in patients who have severe metabolic derangements (eg, hypoglycemia, hyponatremia, hypoxemia).​

And here's why you should get checked, just incase:

Mortality/Morbidity Recent data suggest that patients with cardiac syncope are more likely to experience a poor outcome. Patients who have a significant cardiac history and those who seem to have a cardiac syncope (because of associated chest pain, dyspnea, or ECG abnormalities) should be considered to be at increased risk. Most published methods of risk stratification take into account cardiac symptoms and risk factors.​

 

haha yup same here, thats completely natural imho... but a doctor can only provide you with true sound advice bro...

 

so could mary jane give you a unrhymtic heartbeat?

Sometimes I'll just be sitting around (not high) and I can feel my heart skip a beat and such.

Only does it when I'm not chiefin tho?

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/THC

Synthetic THC, also known under the substance name dronabinol, is available as a prescription drug (under the trade name Marinol) in several countries including the U.S., The Netherlands, and Germany. In the United States, Marinol is a Schedule III drug, available by prescription, considered to be non-narcotic and to have a low risk of physical or mental dependence. Efforts to get cannabis rescheduled as analogous to Marinol have not succeeded thus far, though a 2002 petition has been accepted by the DEA. As a result of the rescheduling of Marinol from Schedule II to Schedule III, refills are now permitted for this substance. Marinol has been approved by the FDA in the treatment of anorexia in AIDS patients, as well as for refractory nausea and vomiting of patients undergoing chemotherapy.

An analog of dronabinol, nabilone, is available commercially in Canada under the trade name Cesamet, manufactured by Valeant. Cesamet has also received FDA approval for future availability in the United States and is a Schedule II drug.

In April 2005, Canadian authorities approved the marketing of Sativex, a mouth spray for multiple sclerosis to alleviate pain. Sativex contains tetrahydrocannabinol together with cannabidiol. It is marketed in Canada by GW Pharmaceuticals, being the first cannabis-based prescription drug in the world.

 

Sort of... It can cause your heart rhythm to change when it's being used, but this is typically only seen in people who already have heart-rhythm problems.

What you're experiencing is palpitations (premature ventricular contractions being the likely culprit). What happens is that your ventricles beat before they're supposed to, then your heart pauses for a second while it "resets" so to say. Most people experience them and don't even know it. It's probably nothing, but it's always best to check with your doctor as it CAN be a sign that there's something wrong with your heart's electrical system, or that you have underlying ischemic heart disease... So yeah, you prolly wanna talk to your doc just incase...

They'll take an EKG, and probably hook you up to a holter monitor for a day or 2. You might also have to take a stress test and get an echocardiogram (ultrasound)...
