Weed withdrawals and high blood pressure

**Posts:** 53 · by **cryingsoul** » Sat Feb 20, 2016 1:14 am

Ok so it's almost been 3 months since quitting weed. I do have some good days. But on my bad days my blood pressure is 170/100 and my anxiety goes up. My blood pressure was always normal before I quit weed. Does anyone else have high blood pressure since quitting?

In the first 6 months with your mood being everywhere and stress levels at points being quite high, I guess this is not too surprising. I never tracked my blood pressure but wouldn't have been surprised if it was high.

May be part of your body adjusting to being without cannabis.

My mom has a blood preesure monitor and I decided I was going to check my blood pressure and that's how I found out it was high. I have all the symptoms, the ear ringing, light headiness, vision problems. It all makes sense. The symptoms died down after the first month. But I know PAWS creeps up on me.

You are not alone. I was put on Bp meds 1 month after I quit. Still on them now 5 months after quitting. Were you ever able to get it down? Or is this a permanent cause of the THC???? I hope it’s better for you! Please let us know how you are doing!

Its natural for the blood pressure to go up far when having anxiety, but weed can also lower blood pressure. I think its good to practice relaxation methods as often as you need to.

Not sure if you’re asking me or not… However, no I am not. I stopped smoking August 2019 (Cartridges) and had panic attacks and severe anxiety for almost 7 months. In and out of the hospital I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and anxiety and put on medication for both. I had severe heart palpitations and was put on heart monitors with no findings. I stopped taking the blood pressure medication after my panic attacks and anxiety died down about six months after that. I have been monitoring it and noticed it has been staying down in about March I stopped the medication. I agree, I think the anxiety is what made my blood pressure so high and honestly the only thing that can help is time. It’s been a year and four months now and other than some mild general anxiety i no longer have panic, no longer have high blood pressure, no palpitations and I feel a lot better, there is hope.
