Hi Im a 28yr old Female. Weigh about 219, 62inches . I checked my pulse rate and it is 109bpm, I smoke pot every so often and last two times Ive checked it, it has been beating really hard. As if it wants to burst., is this something to be concerned about or does the marijuana has a significant part in relation to the heavy beating?
Hi, This is Chat Doctor. Increased heart rate & palpitations can have a lot of causes. It can be normal sinus tachycardia due to anxiety or stress, or it could be abnormal supra ventricular tachycardia. For the diagnosis, you need to do ECG at the time of palpitation & tachycardia. If the duration of palpitations are short enough to reach a nearby hospital, we put a 24hr ECG monitoring (Holder Monitor). You also need to do a 2D Echo & thyroid function test to see for any associated abnormality if any. Thanks
