[|Human|] I was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure 9 months ago...I m 39 and they say the cause is unknown. My arteries are clear but my e-frac rate is 20-25% (up from the initial 10% at diagnosis),so they say it was probably viral. I recently had an ICD implanted (pacemaker/defib in 1 unit,only 1 lead) I also take the basic heart meds....Coreg,Lisinopril,Aldactone,Lasix....I also smoke marijuana,though I smoke it out of a Vaporizer which takes away the smoke from my lungs,I do smoke it 4-5 times a week,only 2-3 hits a night tho. Any opinions on using cannibas with CHF? I talk with my doctors about it and none of em say anything negative about it,but they do say not enough studies have been done on it. But I also read online some things to the contrary. just looking for another point of view. Thank You.
[|AI|]  If anyone gives you a frank yes or no, he is lying.  As you are true there are not any multigenic studies to support or disagree with it use Why I ask you to restrain?  Cannabis has the propensity to cause a condition called flash pulmonary edema, and trust me once you have that experience of the sinking feeling, you will NVR use cannabisCannabis can cause fluctuations in blood pressure and heart rate and that's not good for you It may cause long term pulmonary fibrosis, even if you taking it with vaporizer, which again will decrease your lung capacity And most importantly viral myocardium and DCM post it may be reversible, whereby the heart function may return to normal with medication and time, and you don't want to do anything that can slow the process of reversal.
