I have chronic anxiety and severe pain most of the time from an accident, i find the bud works good for my anxiety, and my blood pressure is always normal, and have a heart as strong as a horse i'm told. One time i smokes some good bud while hung-over and had to go to hospital, heart beat went to 185 per min, scared the chit outta me, never did smoke again hung over, but now i don't drink, just smoke the bud for pain relief, thinking on starting my own little op in my closet, use to have to 32 plant tables with 4 1000 watt lamps, got 5lbs out of that one in 12 weeks.

Body's Own Cannabis System May Combat High Blood Pressure
Bethesda, MD: Endocannabinoids (naturally occurring chemicals in the body that mimic marijuana's cannabinoids) play a role in cardiovascular regulation in hypertension, and may offer "novel therapeutic strategies"in the treatment of high blood pressure, according to clinical findings published this month in the journal Circulation. Researchers from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) found that "endocannabinoids tonically suppress cardiac contractility in hypertension and ... can normalize blood pressure" in animals. Previous research conducted in Britain on the endogenous cannabinoid anandamide found that it relaxed blood vessels, which can reduce blood pressure by allowing blood to flow more freely. "Targeting the endocannabinoid system offers novel therapeutic strategies in the treatment of hypertension," the NIH researchers concluded.

I think the idea of using a vaporizor may be valid .
THe lungs and the heart are very closely connected , lol . The increase in Carbon Monoxide and Carbon Dioxide into the system can't help a heart problem . And the coughing and chest spasms from smoke inhalation can induce misbeats and an increase in heart-rate . Neither one good for a hypertensive person .
When you say you are modifying your lifestyle , I assume that's a better diet (oatmeal breakfasts) , exersize , and stopping cigarettes and alchohol abuse (good luck) . As long as you are going all out , stop smoking pot , too . Get a quality vaporizor and get your lungs cleaned up all the way .
I feel soooo much better since I gave up smoking weed .
Not that I think there's anything wrong with it in a healthy adult (other than smoke tastes like sh*t after vaping) .

smoking anything is bad for your cardiovascular system.
