What pressure and pulse do in the first weeks, why the scary readings in week two are mostly nerves, and when the number you see is your own. Not a day by day of withdrawal, not a how to quit guide.- The two halves of the answer: a calmer heart over months, and a pressure that often rises in the first two to three weeks- What THC did every day: pulse up twenty to fifty beats, vessels wider, the head rush on standing up- Why the cuff never showed your own number, only your number plus THC- The first four days: top number up about ten points, bottom about seven, for some much more, for others not at all- The bad night, the soaked shirt and the anxiety are in the reading too- Day five onwards: the body settles, the mind does not- The loop: high number, more anxious, cuff again ten minutes later, higher- What helps: slow breathing, a long walk, less coffee, no readings after a bad night- The one thing not to do: smoking to bring the number down for an evening- Week three to six: the swinging stops and the number drifts to a level not seen in years- Why nobody can promise it will be lower than before you started- How to measure: once a week, morning, before coffee, sitting five minutes, same arm, written down- Medication and heart conditions: talk to the doctor before quitting, not after- The plain line: above one eighty over one twenty, or with chest pain, a bad headache or trouble seeing, a same day call- Whether the cuff belongs in a drawer for two weeks or whether a number written down every morning is what a doctor needs, is where opinions splitThis is general information, not medical advice.▬▬▬▬ Chapters ▬▬▬▬00:04 Day three and the worse number00:44 Two halves of the answer01:12 What THC did to the pulse every day02:07 Quitting removes a constant02:22 The first four days, why it rises03:07 The cuff measures the bad night too03:36 Day five, the nervous system runs hot04:00 The anxiety loop with the cuff04:22 Cuff in the drawer, or write it down05:15 What helps in those weeks05:35 The one mistake, smoking to bring it down05:47 Week three to six, the number that is yours06:26 No promise it will be lower07:10 How to measure so it means something07:33 Medication and the hard lines08:19 The pounding heart in week one and two08:42 The long view and tobacco09:14 So does quitting bring it down#quitweed #bloodpressure #cannabiswithdrawal #weedandheart #quittingweed
