My Man Dan,
You are sooo right, in fact today my lunchtime BP + pulse were even lower than when I woke up, so I skipped my afternoon BP medicine. You might be right about the BP going up when quitting, but for my pressure to Double is just a lil’ too much for my comfort zone. The only reason I ever did start smoking blend was my weed just wasn’t doing it for me & I can see now that a tolerance break could have done me much good, instead of starting the blend at all. Purely greed on my part, wanting to stay wasted when I shoulda been drawing a line in the sand, instead.
Also I know the MB 6X had 5Fur144 in it, which I believe has been documented causing the BP fluctuation in others in the past. I don’t know what is in your blends, but I am sure there are less dangerous chems out there.
BTW I am also aware that one person’s poisen is another’s passion, so just cause this stuff disagreed with me prolly has little bearing on how it will affect you. Thanks to all you guys for giving a damn & Happy July 4th
Good luck to you, jones. :beers: If I could use mj in my state things might be different and I may feel like you, but, not yet. Hey, where you gonna find a community that actually CARES about each others welfare like this? (insert heart) :biggrin Maybe it’s ’cause we really understand personally how important it is to share this info to each other. It isn’t FUN it it isn’t safe. :stoned Happy 4th! :dance :popcorn:
Jones, How you doin brutha? That is some really scary shit you was talkin about. That shit has me worried man. I hope you are doing much better. Blends will really fuck you up man. I have read the effects of what using blends can do to you. We aren’t invincible when it comes to drugs. I definitely need to get my BP checked on the regular. I rarely ever check my BP. I know that when I am off blends, MAN, I get the sweats like a muthafucka. Lately, when I don’t use, I get the sweats really bad after I wake up from sleeping. Like I would wake up after sleeping and my fuckin pillows would be drenched in sweat especially my body. Its like someone spilled water on my pillows. It feels really uncomfortable. Even after taking a nice cool shower I would get the sweats. I had dinner with my family for Fathers Day last month at a Brazilian restaurant and I was having the sweats like crazy. The shit was really awkward. I really have no idea what my BP is because I rarely check it. I even get anxiety like crazy at times. I have never EVER been rushed to the ER due to my use of blends. I really need to be careful because I go to the extreme sometimes when using blends. I would smoke all day non stop like I usually would when I smoke weed with an hour or two in between for rest. I would even stay up all night until like 4 in the morning smoking. This whole moderation thing seems impossible to me because I can’t just smoke and put it down for the rest of the day. I just keep smokin. I’m planning on having my BP checked before and after my use to see where it is. Anways, enough about me. It is a good thing you found out sooner rather than later.

This is a good description of just what I have been doing for the last couple of years. Before blending I used to think I got panic sweats, like when I’m worried that I will screw up something that I can’t afford to replace on the job-That used to make me sweat, but it is nothing at all like the way I sweat now, specially in the summer. I have sweatbands in my car for just such a situation & it is really sad cause after a couple minutes the band will be soaked… For the last couple years I have been drinking less water cause being slightly dehydrated seemed to help control the sweating, but that is dangerous too, especially in the hot summer.
Don’t spend time wondering, almost every drugstore & supermarket in my state has a blood pressure chair inside & every one I have seen is No Charge, so just sit your ass down & give it a try. Anything above 120 (upper #) is pre-hypertension, due to the pressure being high enough to actually mebbe damage the filtering capacity of your kidneys. The mebbe depends on just how long you keep at it & your family genetics.
I also hate that feeling that you just walked into a damn incinerator, & once my pulse fell by a fourth that mostly away. I too used to often wake up drenched in sweat, but being single I just rol over & get a dif place & pillow in my large bed. That night sweating has departed, but my thermostat is now set on 76 & I have fans all over the house. Used to be the 80 was nice, but it’s too hot for me still. On the plus side, my Dr changed out one of my scripts & currently my bp stays pretty decent like 120/80

I just wanna say that every symptom that you have described were all the same things I had.
I am now on a special very low salt diet–You can save yourself the hassle & expense of the cardiac unit & meds & special diet that I have
But unless you find something else to make you happy it will only be if/when you suddenly drop the fuck Dead N1lbog4721!
Because those symptoms Man… Not joking Dude
I wanted to add what is prolly the biggest change, my temper.
I have always had a bad temper but since the addition of blends,
it too has gone through the roof. In fact it’s sooo bad thata year ago
While I was beating the crap out of a machine, I managed to tear off
my left distal tendon. After that my bicep would no longer flex & I was
out of work for 6 months for surgery & therapy.
Good Luck & don’t fear the blood pressure cuff
