","slug":"super-lightheaded-and-shaky-every-time-i-smoke-whats-going-on-with-me","content":"\"Hi, I have recently been getting extremely lightheaded and sometimes shaky whenever I smoke weed. I feel off balance when I walk and sometimes feel like I'm going to pass out. This never happens to me, I usually smoke at least three times a day and my tolerance was very high. I started getting this bad high about two weeks ago. I went on a trip and didn't smoke for 2 nights and when I came back I used my dab pen and felt awful and it hasn't gotten better. Is this something that happens to people? And if so is there something that I can do?\"\n_____________________\nIs it possible that things might have changed in your regular routine such as your diet or medication and the culprit may not be cannabis? \n\nAlso, it may just be that the particular concentrate (dab) that you are consuming has pesticides,  or the flowers had mold on them before it was turned into a concentrate and that may be causing your body to have this reaction? \n\nThere can be numerous things- these are just guesses as I am not a doctor.\n\nBartSmart\n_____________________\nWhile I can't say for sure what is happening, cannabis does have cardiovascular effects - mainly increased heart rate, slightly increased blood pressure, and on occasion can produce marked orthostatic hypotension. Orhtostatic hypotension is a phenomenon when one stands up suddenly, blood pressure drops markedly, which can lead to dizziness or even fainting. \n\nAnd since you are a very heavy daily user who took two days off from concentrated cannabis products, your body may be more prone to experience these effects on blood pressure regulation and heart rate.\n\nHowever, the best piece of advice I can give you is to decrease the amount of cannabis/concentrated dramatically. I advise that you steadily ween yourself from cannabis to a more reasonable amount - just enough to treat your medical condition(s); doing so would help prevent side effects occurring such as your recent issue.\n\nI'd also advise you discard your current pen and any of the concentrate involved in your reaction. You should consult your primary care physician and give full disclosure of the events involved with your reaction.\n\ndrkim","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8121-markdown","title":"Why am I feeling extremely lightheaded every time I smoke?","slug":"why-am-i-feeling-extremely-lightheaded-every-time-i-smoke","content":"\"I have recently been getting extremely lightheaded every time I smoke to the point that I feel like I'm going to pass out. I usually smoke everyday at least twice a day and have a pretty high tolerance. I went on a trip about two weeks ago and didn't smoke for about two nights. When I came back I smoked and got the worst high, super lightheaded, fast heartbeat, and shaky. Ever since then the same thing has been happening (not as bad as the first time though). I thought it was just because I had a cold during the time, but I've been feeling better and yet I get the same bad high every time I smoke. Is this something that I should do? \"\n_____________________\nPlease see your physician locally for more help.\n\nLightheaded can be a result of benign causes such as dehydration, or conditions like B.P.P.V, however it can also be due to a serious process like anemia or worse. I am also concerned by the episode of shakiness, palpitations and \"super lightheaded\" feeling. That should not happen with medical cannabis, and could be a result of an underlying problem.\n\nWithout a physical exam it is difficult to tell why you have these symptoms. If you can, take a break from smoking especially if you had a recent cold or viral illness until you find the etiology for your symptoms.\n\ndrgomez\n_____________________\nHello! I'm sorry to hear this has been happening to you. Dizziness, lightheadedness, and low blood pressure could be a side effect of cannabis, and cannabis can worsen symptoms from an underlying health condition. My advice to you is to discontinue cannabis if it is causing these side effects. Your symptoms could be from your recent illness or from dehydration but to be safe I would get a check up with your primary care physician for a full physical evaluation, letting them know what is happening to you. If everything comes back normal and you are feeling better, you could try adding in cannabis again very slowly, perhaps at a lower THC level, and monitoring the outcome. If you still feel close to passing out with cannabis, I would advise you to discontinue cannabis use for your safety. Good luck!\n\ndrjacquelynlew","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8119-markdown","title":"Thank you for your recent response.since I am suffering from a bad cough each time I smoke what","slug":"thank-you-for-your-recent-response-since-i-am-suffering-from-a-bad-cough-each-time-i-smoke-what-1","content":"","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8107-markdown","title":"What happens if I smoke too much and very stoned?","slug":"what-happens-if-i-smoke-too-much-and-very-stoned","content":"\n_____________________\nThe intention of medical marijuana use is never for a patient to become intoxicated.

With asthma, there is inflammation of the air passages that results in a temporary narrowing. Early studies showed that marijuana opens up the airways. Medical Marijuana is composed of THC & CBD both work as a great antinflamatory agents.  \n\ntatiananp","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7871-markdown","title":"I have supercritical CO2 cannabis extract.

I've read that THC is an anti-inflammatory, does that mean that I can't smoke either?\"\n_____________________\nSmoking can cause increased sputum production; it is recommended to stop smoking cannabis for several hours prior to the surgery. It’s very important that if a person is regularly using cannabis that they make sure they let the surgeon know, so the he/she is aware of all of the medications you’re taking, including cannabis. Smoked cannabis increases cough and sputum production, so it not a good idea to smoke prior to a surgery. Instead, choose a method other than smoking like tinctures, edibles or vaporizing, since vaporizing has 70% fewer irritants than smoking.  \n\ntatiananp","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7810-markdown","title":"I need a product to help me sleep that I don't smoke.

I would recommend you start with a CBD dominant (very little THC) sublingual tincture, then progress to oral capsules once you know the milligrams that work for you. If the insomnia is severe. I would suggest a combination of a sublingual tincture- because of its rapid effects that can help you fall asleep more quickly. And also capsules, which are released slower, making them effective at helping people stay asleep, for a total daily dosage of CBD 40-160 mg.\n\ntatiananp","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7717-markdown","title":"Can a person develop sensitivity in their mouth and gums from smoking fresh bud? ","slug":"can-a-person-develop-sensitivity-in-their-mouth-and-gums-from-smoking-fresh-bud","content":"\n_____________________\nHello, although smoking Cannabis is unlikely to increase your risk of developing oral cancer, there are still some dental hazards patients should be aware of. A patient may developed xerostomia or a dry mouth, which is a common side effect of smoking marijuana. Cannabinoids bind to receptors located in the submandibular glands, which causes a loss of  ability to receive input from the nervous system, causing a disruption in normal saliva production. Dry mouth can cause your gums to bleed, altered sense of taste and accumulation of dental plaque. When smoking, be sure to keep water on hand or consider switching from smoking to vaporizing, which involves steam.\n\ntatiananp","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7708-markdown","title":"Does smoking marijuana cause worsening of Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD) symptoms?

Symptoms are abdominal pain and altered bowel habits such as constipation and diarrhea. Many studies have shown that THC reduces intestinal motility which is the spontaneous movement of the bowel. THC  alleviates colonic spasms and abdominal pain in IBS suffers.

Seven states and the District of Columbia have adopted the most expansive laws legalizing marijuana for recreational use. As of the most current studies on the marijuana and its effect on cardiovascular health, recreational marijuana use potentially has cardiovascular adverse effects that are more acute than chronic. There have not been any studies as of yet published related to marijuana and birth control use. The lack of research isn't a solid answer to your question about the effects of smoking marijuana when combined with birth control pills.  However, this does not mean there isn’t any affects due to a lack of information about this subject.\n\nnptherasse","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":36,"numPages":15,"currentPage":4,"id":5754,"name":"Smoke","slug":"smoke","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
