Blood test.

So i have a blood test coming up, either sometime this month or early February. I have an aneurysm so if thc is found in my blood my doctor will give me sh** about it. I read that it only stays in your blood stream for up to 5 days, But that it stays in your fat cells for weeks. Im 5'10 145. So can i have opinions on whether i should stop not or wait until a week before and then stop? Much appreciated

So you don't risk having your doctor find THC in your blood.

Or don't quit and go in there with some kind of evidence that's marijuana is a potentially effective medicine for you. It's becoming a pretty widely accepted treatment for a stupid number of ailments. Maybe he'll surprise you.

Why in the fuck does it matter what your doctor thinks of you smoking pot?
His job is to look for the problem. I fail to see how this is a problem.

Technically speaking smoking weed doesnt help a heart aneurysm at all, it makes your heart pump harder, which could hurt an aneurysm. but its a choice i made, if the problem is deadly, i might as well die happy. as the other guy said i really just dont want shit from him.

Well shit happens. I smoke pot and had open heart surgery one year ago......hell I started back up 3 months after. My doc is ok with it but would rather me consume it or vape and I live in mass.
As long as things are in order I'm pretty much my own machine that can put whatever oil I chose into my body.....that is for now. Good luck with your heart and all.

Ive had this problem since i was a kid, i would put eyedrops in my drink so id get really sick and have to miss my appointment, but this is my cardiologist so i cant call and cancel the appointment really. So im just wondering if the thc stored in your fat will somehow show up on the blood test.
Ive had 3 open heart surgeries now. Goldcaphunter, cool to have something in common haha. I had a bovine valve put on my left ventrical and my lv put on my aorta. then i got an aneurysm in my aortic arch which they cant take out, so if the doc knew i smoked hed have a hissy fit

Seing as how you're skinny (and probably have a fast metabolism), it should be out of your system pretty quick. Jog a few miles and get the heart rate up/sweat profusely if you're worried about it.

I heard if you get a work out it will put the tthc stores in fat back into your blood. ugh i guess ill just stop and get some dream herb or catnip.

I had my aortic valve replaced with a mechanical one. Tell them you eat the cannabis. Then start eating the cannabis. Or at least vape. I have stents in my aorta from when I was a kid and they help keep it open.

Mines wrapped in this mesh thing, you can see it on xrays. looks like a little ring with 3 prongs on it haha. They want to put in a mechanical, but the area where the aneurysm is makes it extremely hard for them to remove it.. Ive been vaping lately anyway. Just curious, does the mechanical valve effect your life in any serious ways? i heard it could fuck up your life.

TECHNICALLY; thc stays in your blood for 14-45 days.
However, I was once blood tested and did not know the drug panel was being added. I had smoked everyday for a week and two hours prior. for some really strange reason; I came up clean for everything.
Blood testing for drugs is expensive though. Plus, your doctor is your doctor. His income comes from you and your insurance. So taking his shit won't mean anything to you if you don't let it. Unless, of course, you are not above 18 and/or your parents are of concern to you.
Anyways, best of luck. Good vibes to all.

I'm glad I went mechanical. Last up to 20 years....only problem is the ticking and blood thinners. Ive only had mine in for what will be one year In four days. Physically its great....my cardio is amazing and my health has improved. Lost weight gained muscle.
Mentally I'm a little fucked. I died a few times during op due to a bleed out and a lung collapse....so many draining tubes were in my sides sucking out blood while I lay helplessly on a ventilator.
Thankfully I had this little button that when I poushed I got a hit of morphine. I could push it three times a minute in the ICU.(I didn't eat or poop for weeks). I could ask the cute nurses for iv Valium an they all promptly agreed.
Mechanical valve....worth it.

This. As stated in my above post: the drug panel has to be added to any blood tests, as far as I'm aware. But will your doctor seriously do anything to affect you even if thc is found in your blood? I mean, he's there for your health, not to test your morality or legality. Plus, we all know marijuana is anything but harmful to your health.

Can you hear it ticking??? and i heard blood thinners are bad.. like if you even get a bruise youd have to go to the hospital because it will keep bleeding. Quote:

It depends. Are you going to a clinic or like a quest diagnostics type center yourself to get blood tested, or is your doctor going to personally take blood from you?
If it is the latter, then I assume it is up to the doctor. If it is the former, then it will be up to you to check what you please.
I personally doubt your doctor will put a drug panel in your testing, simply because that's not what he's looking for. I assume he would ask you if you take any illicit drugs beforehand, yes? That's what doctors do where I'm from.

Its more of a reassurance now....if I hear it clicking I know its working proper. I haven't had any problems with bruising. Sometimes I'll get a bruise out of no where but its no big deal.
Just carry a high bleeding risk tag with you incase you're ever in an accident. When are you planned for surgery?

Probaly this year. considering that aneurysms have a tendency to keep growing, i hope its this year.. its at almost 5cm.. but thanks for the info on the mechanical.. ill deff keep that in mind. i cant even play sports with friends (im in college) cant go on carnival rides, cant drink energy drinks. cant do most drugs.. it sucks.. all i know is when i have another surgery i get to have a benefit and get some money that i truly need. Goodluck with everything fellow heart patient! Quote:
