Why does Cannabis cause heart palpitations and nausea?
Heart palpitations: THC affects your cardiovascular system and can increase your heart rate. This can feel like heart palpitations and may be frightening, especially if you are not used to it. THC activates receptors in your brain that make your heart beat faster.
Nausea: Nausea can occur because THC affects your digestive system or because your body is generally sensitive. If you smoke on an empty stomach, you are more likely to feel sick.
Other factors
• Your tolerance: Little experience with cannabis can trigger stronger reactions.
• The environment: Stress or uncomfortable surroundings can intensify the symptoms.
• The amount and type of cannabis: Potent strains or large amounts increase the risk.
In short, your body needs to get used to THC. In the following sections, we will show you how to feel better quickly.


What to do if you experience a racing heart and nausea after the Joint?
Don't panic! Here are a few simple tips that can help you quickly:
Breathe calmly and deeply: Sit down, close your eyes, and take slow, deep breaths. This will help calm your heartbeat.
Drink water: Sip a glass of water slowly to stay hydrated and ease any nausea.
Find a quiet place: Look for a comfortable, quiet spot where you can relax.
Use relaxation techniques: Meditation, gentle stretching, or listening to music can help distract and calm you.
Eat something light: A few crackers or a piece of fruit can help with nausea, especially if you smoked on an empty stomach.
Be patient: Give your body some time; the symptoms usually subside on their own.
