Hey everyone,
I’m looking to hear from others with AFib about their experiences with cannabis—especially if you’ve tried to use it carefully or reintroduce it after taking a break.
Quick background on me:
Paroxysmal AFib (had a recent episode)
Currently on Sotalol
Recently quit nicotine and stopped heavy cannabis use (about 2 weeks clean)
Sleep has improved a lot, and my system feels more stable overall
I’ve noticed I’m sensitive to body awareness/anxiety when things spike
I’m not trying to go back to heavy use. If anything, I’m considering whether there’s a low-dose, controlled approach that doesn’t trigger symptoms—or if it’s just not worth it.
Curious about:
Do you use cannabis at all with AFib?
If yes, what form/dose seems safest (edible, tincture, etc.)?
Have you noticed it triggering palpitations or episodes?
Did quitting make a noticeable difference for you?
I know everyone is different, just trying to learn from real-world experiences and patterns.
Appreciate any insight 🙏
