Cbd patches 70mcg

Hello everyone, I have PAF triggered by alcohol . I haven't has an episode for 4.5 years as I gave up

Alcohol and caffeine. I've been diagnosed with orthoarthritis and the pain is very bad. I've tried tramadol, morphine and codeine but they do not work. Was thinking of trying CBD but have no idea if I can . What are the risks of sending me into AF. Obviously I'm going to discuss this with my GP. I've been referred to the pain clinic at the hospital but have been told there's a 42 week wait. I've also been told that I can't get this o. The NHS is this true?

Kind regards

Heather

Good morning Heather.

As far as I'm aware CBD won't affect your AF - check with your GP though before you try it. Don't buy it from your chemist as they are far too expensive. There are some good online sellers in the UK - check out Google to find them. Do your research on the seller using Trustpilot etc.

It's worth a try. Saying that if morphine didn't kill the pain I'm not too sure CBD will. If your GP gives you the go-ahead it's worth a try I guess.

Where do you live? If in Central England look up One Health. Its an NHS outreach organisation where you can refer yourself or gp can. You see a specialist within weeks. I have osteoarthritis and saw mine in 2 weeks . You can choose date and centre ( they use Health centres to meet you)Very helpful.

Hace you thought if acupuncture ?

[Wishlady in reply to LaceyLady]

No I haven't because I'm on anticoagulants and thought this would be a no.

You could try Acupressure, uses same acu-points but with finger pressure.

A pain consultant I saw two years ago could certainly prescribe medical CBD for me. (different to what you can buy online). I have totally run out of options for pain relief for a badly damaged spine. I'm on the highest dose possible of oxycodone which is no longer working; anything else tried to that point either didn't work or had unbearable side effects so this was his only suggestion. BUT. I've had a heart attack . He said that nowhere near enough research has been done into the effect of CBD on the heart so he wouldn't even dare try it. There are very strict criteria for prescribing it and there have to be absolutely no other options and it's only for specific conditions.

"Medicinal CBD is a CBD product that's used to treat certain medical conditions. In the UK, medical cannabis is the only CBD product that's subject to regulatory approval.

Conditions treated with medicinal CBD

Multiple sclerosis: CBD can help with muscle spasms and stiffness caused by MS

Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting: CBD can help with nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy

Severe epilepsy: CBD can help reduce the number of seizures in children with severe epilepsy. In the UK, a doctor may prescribe medical cannabis for people with severe forms of epilepsy, chemotherapy-related nausea, and multiple sclerosis.

Side effects and risks

CBD can cause side effects such as dry mouth, diarrhea, reduced appetite, drowsiness, and fatigue

CBD can interact with other medications, such as blood thinners

The purity and dosage of CBD in products can be unreliable

Inhalation of vapor oils and chemical by products can carry risks ."

Obviously the types you can buy over the counter that don't affect your brain may or may not work and must be bought from a reliable source.

There is an article by the British Heart Foundation. Go to the main page and in the search box type, "CBD: What is it, and can it help the heart?"

Thank you .

I went to a specialist clinic to get proper cannabis oil for restless legs. Very professional service & thorough assessment. Was told it could work but risk of Afib. Took it & within 3 days my AFib came back and I had to stop. I had afib 10 years ago & had an ablation in Bart’s Hospital which cured it. Afib got a bit better but it comes back now and then. Don’t think it’s a coincidence.

I remembered then that when I was still smoking cannabis about 20 years I had very strong palpitations. At that time I was younger, not worried about my health but did stop smoking cannabis as didn’t like that side of it.

It is now recognised that cannabis can affect the heart in older people if you have a tendency to have heart problems. The clinic I went to knew this.
