Hey! Ive just had my first flare after having a pericardial effusion a month ago. right now im just waiting for results on whats causing it and i was wondering whats the most common cause and what you guyses cause is.
So im currently in recovery and was thinking abt smoking. i had surgery 12 days ago to take out the fluid and i was diagnosed with pericarditis. the crazy part is they took out 750ml which as u might know is huge? but anyway i was wondering if it was ok to smoke weed. i know it raises heart rate and things like that but since the surgery no fluid has come back which is a good sign. and honestly im fine with smoking if there is little risk i just want to make sure i wont die or anything. mostly just wondering if anyone has doine it and it turned out fine
