Some weeks ago, I saw a post from someone who took SN talked about heart racing. He also said "salty as hell", "God help me".
I cannot find this post anymore (his account was maybe disabled). But I think about this "heart racing" thing everyday and it's what bothers me the most with SN.

I'd like to know how much BPM the heart racing can be. If some people can help me to find an answer. I have propranolol because I already have speed heart BPM and the PPeH does is not clear with propranolol use.

Most of people here worry about throwing up. It's not a problem for me. Anyway it's recommended to have a second SN glass ready. But when my heart beats so fast, i can have a panic attack and that's stresses me the most. Sorry for my bad english and thanks for your help

Tachycardia (or heart racing) seems like a minor problem to me. After all we are talking about fatal asphyxia. It's hard to imagine that this could happen smoothly.

During sports, my heart rate reaches 180 beats per minute. But I read somewhere that SN cannot cause such a strong tachycardia. I think the maximum is about 150 beats per minute.

I often have tachycardia, under stress my heart produces 120 beats per minute. This is not a strong symptom.

At first, your heart speeds up, but as hypoxia increases, it will begin to slow down. It will not be able to accelerate to strong values, because it will experience oxygen starvation. And given the propranolol, I would not worry about this.

It's very much reminiscent of a panic attack. I've taken sn and that heart racing feels as if you just ran for a long time, it's manageable if you know what you're getting into .

the heart racing is mostly caused by fear

I know that post, it's an old one. I swear that post made me question the peacefulness of this method.
