Hello. My name is Rikki, Theres a few things going on with me, and I would seriously like an answer as best that can be given. The doctors here dont really look into your symtpoms to much they normally excuse it for the common cold. So here I am to get your opinions. About two years ago I smoked marijuana to the point in one day where it put me into a seizure. Ever since then problems have been occuring, Ive gotten really pale. Dark circles under mye eyes, My hands and feet have gotten pale and even show veins running along the flesh, some even to the point of pushing against my skin potruding as you would say. I can feel my heart beating pretty strong against my chest whether im sitting or laying down. Its uaully around the 133 heart rate. I get dizzy quite alot and lose my balance easily. So..If anyone could answer these for me i woul dbe greatly appreciated. ANy ideas?
Q: Paleness, Rapid heart, Dizzyness. Help please?
Hi Rikki,
Here are two posts you may want to review:
What Triggers Heart Palpitations?
What Causes Dizziness? Is it My Heart?
All the best,
Lisa Nelson RD
HI Rikki: It's difficult to answer these questions by mail. Many things could be going on with these symptoms. So without doing a complete history and really getting to the bottom of things its hard.
I would just say that a heart rate of 133 is definitely abnormal. This could be a normal racing of the heart and indicate some illness or an abnormal heart rhythm.
I would suggest that you seek out a doctor who will listen to you, give you time and look into these symptoms more fully.

Yes, Ive had this explained to me before. I may understand the heart palipatations and such. But what I dont understand. Is whats causing my hands to be eratically pale as well as my feet, and more veins every month it seems pushing upwards at my skin. It started with my hands and feet now some are even showing along my chest by my pecks and along my neck. The doctors said it wasnt anemia the blood thing. So what could it be?
