nuschultz Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Has anyone ever noticed an increase in pule rate (heart beat) when smoking? I am an EMT, and I was playing with my new electroic bloodpressure cuff, which also gives a pulse read out, and I noticed mine steadily goes up when I smoke.Maybe I am just dying and going to heaven because this Fumari Cola is so good.

dikydave Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 sounds like a general nicotine response, also i would think the lack of oxygen getting to the blood would make the heart beat faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sariél Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Yes, my pulse rate and blood pressure go up when I smoke tobacco. BP goes down with non tonacco priducts. I haven't tried tobacco substitutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
