So basically I’m 39 and all was going well still.

Completely unrelated to poppers use but I have an
autonomic condition now where my heart rate runs faster
called I.S.T, it’s not a heart condition though. My cardiovascular
tests come back normal

I found that my heart rate runs too fast for too long
so its uncomfortable to use now.

I don’t drink or smoke and loved poppers so much but
the time has come to stop

Feeling sad :-( ((

Enjoy your poppers my friends, open a new one for me ;-)

Kind regards Aurora

Just take a quick whiff and all will be right.

Was it a doctor that told you to stop, or you just felt too scared to continue? (Honestly curious, no judgement here)

The autonomic nervous system is a new one on me. Wish you well, Aurora.

PS. What is IST please?

I felt too scared to continue using as my heart rate was higher for one hour from a single sniff

I.S.T is inappropriate sinus tachycardia. So standing up or walking makes the heart rate go faster by a certain percentage depending on how badly effected the person is.

My case is mild yet after sniffing my heart rate went down as normal but then went back up ;((

To small a sniff and it i don’t feel the poppers, a medium sized sniff and it feels amazing as normal but higher heart rate for an hour

I don’t suffer from anxiety so it’s not that

I’m gonna miss it 😿

Did you get the Pfizer shot?

I had two AstraZenecas then a Pfizer. I don’t have much knowledge about the vaccines though

A troublesome condition, Aurora. I would not go on any paranoia trips about vaccinations if I were you. The word sinus fills me with dread, that can be very painful. With any condition involving the sinus, it is best to stay clear of poppers. I mean they are going to agitate the membranes and make things worse for sure. I hope you cope well with this ailment, but hey! poppers are not so important, they are a minor aphrodisiac at best, although I suspect they can make long term cognitive connections with unusual pleasure, and thereby you might miss them for a few weeks. Try not to think about poppers. Happy thoughts only. Best of luck.
