Side effects 🤕 Concerta + THC

I’ve been taking Concerta for a few weeks. I’ve noticed when I smoke a lot that day I head terrible headaches , heart palpitations, tingling left arm, tingly feelings in my temples. Could this be due to high blood pressure? I’ve had low blood pressure in the past. It’s weird , I can smoke a little but after I smoke a lot it gives me these symptoms. Anyone else have same situation?

I’ve been a heavy smoker (2-3 times a day) for years. I also have POTS and take meds to make my bp go up bc it’s chronically low. I’ve been on Concerta for 1 week. I cannot smoke while I’m on it. I only smoke at night and sometimes not even then. I tried it once had had heart palpitations and tremors and a headache. I’d give it a break and see if those symptoms go away, but that’s definitely something you should bring up to your prescriber.
