Does smoking Marijuana cause a negative affect for patients with congestive heart failure?

For an average 80 kg adult, consuming 5.7 kg of unsweetened dark chocolate at once will be fatal. Or consuming all at one a hundred cans of Redbull or 50 Cans of Monster energy drink, Even 70 regular cups of coffee or 20 shots of expresso or six liters of water will have similar fatal outcome. Then there is consuming 50 to 100 regular strength Aspirins, can also be fatal.

With Mary Jane, if you consume 1,500 pounds worth within 15 minutes. There might be a chance this can be fatal. But there is no possible way you can consume such amount within a 15 minutes time frame.

Moral of the story is, everything in moderation. Even moderation.

You guys are so full of it.I am a 29 years of smoking pit.I have had my heart checked several times and I'm health I can run hard and fast with out breathing hard .My lungs are healthy as well.Pharmacudical companies will do what ever they can to keep you buying their killer pills.Marijuania helps too many peaple to b considered dangerous.Becareful peaple they know how to get you.While they continue to put down marijuana cirgerets are still leading cause of heart disease but the Government still allows it .It is a very evil fake world.Im proof it's a medicine made by God.

Can you smoke weed with chf

I was diagnosed at 20, I'm 28 now with a pacemaker and difrib- I've smoked pot for 13 years, its not related to my condition and its just a part of my lifestyle choice. I would rather vape or eat it but im poor and live in the UK so its not allowed here :( You are not alone @kittymeow92. Take care from Softkitty89

I'm considering cannabis as a pain relief. I am an extremely persistent person and don't give up, my cardiologist says I seem to just crash through the pain barrier.in early-mid 2016 I survived 5 heart attacks in seven weeks without medical attention, I finally drove to emergency with an apparent 2 hours left. The resulting damage to the heart muscle was extreme, my body rejects all the medication I am on, the side effects are extreme, constantly changing and painful although my body appears to be healing itself at an incredible rate. I have asked to be taken off 3 medicines and improved more in a week, but left with the withdrawal symptoms of the drugs which may take 3 weeks. I need another way to ease the pain.

Wow, came here to see if I can smoke some weed almost 3 months after I had a double bypass. The stories I read here, made me realize for the milionth time how lucky and blessed I am.
Went to the doctor because I was having pectoral angina for the last few months, and it got to the point where I couldn't do a 10 minute walk without stoping at least 3 times to cool down the pain and catch my breath.
Doctors discovered that the artery that was pumping blood to my left ventricle of the heart was blocked 99%, and asked if there is a history of sudden deaths in my family, because apparently, this artery is known as the sudden death artery.
It was amazing for them that I did not die, or had a heart attack.
Also another heart artery was 50% blocked, but this wasnt a life threatening one.
All the tests came out fine, I did not had a heart attack, no colesterol, no diabetes, heart healthy, and only high blood presure. I am 36.
I had to do a double bypass, and now after a month I am doing great, recovering very quick because I am healthy.
Also, I live in Europe, and honestly, the stories I read here, are unbelievable. I don't wanna sound rude in any way, but the american way is not ok man.
Like this whole american lifestyle is making people sick, like young people. People in their 20s, overweight, with Chf, heart attacks, diabetes, defibrilators or bypasses, it's unbelievable.
At the hospital here, where I had the surgery, all the personnel that took care of me were shocked to see someone so young( their words, not mine) @36 with a complication like this. This was a very rare case for them.
Something tells me that if I had lived in the US, this was very common for the doctors to see at a 36 yo guy.
Anyway, apparently my arteries blocked because of my thyroid, that is not functioning properly, for some reason.
I dont even know if I wanna smoke some weed in the near future, after everything I read here. I mean, I was so blessed to be able to take the easy way with this whole thing, that maybe my new lifestyle should not include doing weed anymore.
New life, new habbits, maybe.

I just turned 80 and eat one teaspoon of decarboxylated Indica in walnut oil at bedtime for sleep. I sleep well, and it eases any indigestion and makes me calm and collected during the day. I have also found that it significantly lowers my BP. My history is MI at 60, CHF at 78. My cardio doesn't really understand anything but the Medical Party Line. All I really know is my quality of life is much higher than when I use prescription pain medications! TFM

He is a loser if he has to have you buy it for him.

Ok, can please tell me how you came up with this. I have CHF and my cardio has put me on medical marijuana. Not smoking it but eit her oil under my tongue or eatables. High CBD low THC

I told one of my Dr.s and there it was splattered all over my medical records so every other nurse and Dr. I came into contact with knew it.

I am on dialysis and CHF and was smoking weed I go to my first doctor appointment am going to ask so many questions. So are you doing better

I would like to chime in if I may...2&1/2 yes ago at the age of 40 I was diagnosed with CHF...WOW was my response but against better judgement I kept oking cigarettes and marijuana...13 months later I was back in the hospital getting a pacemaker/defibrillator installed...the problem was my meds were to high and oxygen wasn't getting to my brain and I would pass out...since all of that I have quit the ciggs but kept the marijuana use about the same level as always and my heart function went from 22 % to 35% in that 7 months...I'm a firm believer that the marijuana helped...most of the time I forget my medicine and a 1 month supply lasts me 2 or 3 months so I know ow it's not that...use ur own judgement and listen to your body it will let you know what works and what doesn't

Did your doctor tell you smoking was the cause

I agree, Moderation is the key with anything you put in your body.

New study presented at American Heart Association says that marijuana use seems to decline negative side effects or symptoms of CHF..
