Heart patients should either avoid ‘bhang’ or consult their cardiologist before taking it. Indiscriminate use can increase heart rate and BP. Pre-treatment with beta–blocker can help.
Heart patients should not take bhang as it can precipitate increase in heart rate and sudden rise in blood pressure, said Dr K K Aggarwal, President, Heart Care Foundation of India and Editor eMedinewS.
Those who are socially committed should consult their doctor. Pre–treatment with propranolol, a beta blocker, can block the cardiovascular effects of marijuana. It can prevent learning impairment and, to a lesser degree, the characteristic subjective experience. Marijuana is known to induce the typical subjective state (‘high’) with marked increases in HR, BP and conjunctival infection. It impairs performance on a learning test without significantly affecting attention.
