i was wondering.. while you are tripping.. does your heart rate increase because of excitement or does it increase because of the psilocybin??? what is the risk of a heart attack while on shrooms and has anyone ever had a bad trip thinking they were gonna die because of heart attack?? lol

I'm not sure WHY your heart rate increases, but it's pretty natural as far as tripping goes. It's hard for your heart NOT to beat faster when the whole universe is coming straight at you and the walls are melting in front of your eyes and you're entering a whole new dimension... If your heart is healthy and you're not prone to heart problems, then I see no reason why someone would have a heart attack on a trip. Ever see the warnings at theme parks for rollercoasters - "People with heart problems should refrain from taking this ride"...

There's no special risk for a heart attacks on shrooms(as far as i know)
I thing the high heart rate is because of the excitement. But it could be a natural reaction against the psilocybin...
Try not to worry about your heart while tripping! I never feel my heart while tripping and it's pretty scary but try not to worry about it. It will be ok....

Yeah your heart can beat at 200 bpm for days and you won't die.

I'm not sure about this, but i heard that shrooms (and possibly even acid) are part stimulant, making you wide awake while tripping. One thing i've noticed is the same feeling i get on speed, that by even just sitting there with my eyes closed and slowing my body down to nothingness, i still won't fall asleep, and i attribute that to the stimulating effects. like wise i think weed might be part depressent even though its an hallucogen, but sometimes i'm hyper when i'm high so i'm really doubting that theory.

I was actually worried about this before my first trip. but while i was tripping i couldnt even feel my heart beating. I was worried because i do notice my heart a lot when i smoke pot. Thats my biggest problem with pot.

How accurate (if at all) this is I don't know.
http://sulcus.berkeley.edu/mcb/165_001/papers/manuscripts/_471.html
The myocardial infarction in the frequent users and in cases of sever intoxication suggest the possibility of cardiac damage related to psilocybin. According to recent studies, indole alkaloids are agonists at the 5-HT receptor in the central nervous system. However, peripherally they induce a sympathomimetic stimulation that leads to tachycardia and hypertension. In the past, the use of 5-HT agonists in migraine headaches was linked to myocardial infarction due to coronary vasoconstriction. In addition, serotonin receptor agonists can cause platelet hyperaggregation and occlusion of small coronary arteries. Because psilocybin is also an agonist of 5-HT receptors, it is conclusive from these observations that the use of this drug can lead to cardiac toxicity (Borowiak 1998).
