So I'm doing an experiment of sorts. Not going to get too medical here as this is a forum for ideas and opinions. And I did just start working with a cardiologist having a 48hr monitor and stress test coming over the next few weeks. Im 62 and have hypertension so I take a 5mg generic for Norvasc. Keeps me at 120/88 in the am. 114/73 in the pm. I also a 10 mg generic lexapro for my anxiety issues. That's the baseline...
If I'm anxious I take CBD. Though it lowers anxiety, it does not affect my BP much. If have some cannabis (usually edible in the evening but sometimes vape), my nighttime BP drops to 95/55.
I'm going to note this along with my daily BP recordings and bring it to my doctors attention. Now I know some sativa strains can agitate ones anxiety. But this is a Sativa (Green Dragon... I know it's just a name) is measuring 32mg of THC! And it lowers my BP. And it's not a couching Indica. I end up in my studio playing guitar for hours!
Anyone else here checked your BP before and after THC?
