[|Human|] Im at my ropes end. My 74 year old mother is waking up with heart palpitaions and night sweats. Shes convinced that theyre caused by another member of our household who smokes marijuana and simply wont take his habit outside. She shuts herself up in her room. as do I, but he fires up an average of 2-3 times a day, either in the living room or the den, and she insists that every time it happens, she goes into the one of these rooms and catches him in the act.  It should also be mentioned that she is currently under a tremendous amount of stress from external factors.    I cant get her to go to her doctor, because shes afraid the secondhand exposure to marijuana will show up in either her blood or urine, making the doctor think that shes a user.   In your opinion, is it the marijuana, or the stress causing her palpitaions, or the stress? Can she be allergic?   Obviously, she needs to go to the doctor to ascertain exactly why she has this problem, but can secondhand exposure to his habit cause her to test positive as a user?
[|AI|]  Hi there ~I understand the concerns for your mother and believe that she needs to get out of the habit of using marijuana.  It seems to be the cause of her problems and getting off of it would need medical and psychiatric solution.  I would also think that you should take your mother to a group where they talk about the ill effects of usage.  It may also be useful to provide information from an outside source like a social worker who can help in your case.  I would think that medications are not the only answer, although they can be a big part of the answer, and you need to have her see a psychiatrist.  I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
