premature ventricular contractions and marijuana/drinking?

Connor G asked:


Alright guys,

I know this might be a dumb question, but I was having some heart palpitations and I went and saw the doctor. After a bunch of tests it turns out I have premature ventricular contractions. Now, I asked the doctor if I was alright to be smoking weed ( I had quit doing it over a year before I got palpitations but my friends always do it and always try to get me to also) and he said it was probably best if I dont. He said it might lead to something called atrial fibrillation. when I researched this is seemed serious but said it only really happened in old people. Do you think this is a serious worry or was the doctor just being extra careful?

Also, I normally only drink on Fridays (only beer very very rarely do I drink hard liquor) ill have 5-6 beers. Do you think this is something I need to watch too? I dont want to risk my life over any of it. The doctor said I shouldnt get carried away with drinking, so not to drink too much, but how much is too much (2 drinks,3 drinks,4) ??

I am just finding that I am loosing friends because I stop doing social things like this. It’s pretty dumb I know, but I am getting really depressed over it and I feel like I wont be able to have fun anymore. But if that’s the case then so be it.

Thanks,

Connor
