is it safe to smoke weed after a heart attack?

Question

Is it safe to drink or smoke after your 6 weeks up from getting a heart fibulator ?

Answer 1

Timing: It isn't safe to smoke anything during the healing phase (1st 3 months) of a heart attack since it raises carbon monoxide levels. In the long run, the risk is probably low, but frankly, i've never seen a scientific paper and doubt that it's ever been studied.

Answer 2

Yes: In many normal pregnancies a heart murmur can develop as a result of the increase in blood volume that occurs during pregnancy. The vast majority of heart murmurs are harmless but in rare cases, they may suggest a problem with the mother’s heart valves. A physician can evaluate your condition and determine the cause of a murmur and whether it is something that needs further treatment or concern.

Answer 3

Not necessarily: The heart must pump extra blood to support the growing fetus, particularly later in the pregnancy. The increased blood flow through the heart can cause heart murmurs even in the absence of heart disease. A murmur can also be due to increased blood flow to the breasts in preparation for nursing. A thorough exam should be performed to exclude more concerning causes.

Answer 4

Yes: Overall, yes. Blood volume in pregnancy increases significantly, and the heart needs to work more to pump it. Fortunately, the cardiovascular system adjusts very well to this greater demand and most women don't develop heart issues while pregnant. Women with previous heart disease, however, are at higher risk; there are also some rare but serious pregnancy-associated cardiac complications.

Answer 5

Yes: But if you don't have underlying heart disease, it's not a problem.

Answer 6

Exercise: Exercise and weight loss . Working out regularly lowers resting heart rate.

Answer 7

Exercise regularly: The athletic heart is known for being efficient: pumps more blood per beat, and beats 50-60 times per minute at rest, sometimes even slower. Regular cardiovascular aerobic conditioning (running, cross-country skiing, cycling, swimming, rowing) can cause these adaptations. A slow heart rate is most common among runners, and is cardioprotective.

Answer 8

Cardio conditioning: There are many causes of cardiac inflammation--infections, drug/chemo, radiation effects, excess alcohol, rheumatologic diseases, uncontrolled diabetes etc..While exercise itself does not get rid of inflammation in the heart, it may improve heart function and general health. It can help lower cholesterol/sugar, blood pressure and thus better heart-health. Other diseases must be treated. Good luck.

Answer 9

Aha, acc: There are excellent on line resources fro the american heart association and american college of cardiology. Go to patient information resources section or search on "pci or percutaneous coronary intervention".
