I think it means that you should go see a docotor. High colesteral and chest pains, on your left side. And you smoke. You should go get checked out, maybe nothing, but why take a chance. It would be a shame to die at such a young age from something that could be prevented.

I am sure putting a bunch of toxins into your chest area isn't the best idea when you experience pain right after. But that's just my opinion.

I think this is normal for any weed smoker. I've been smoking weed for about 4 years almost everyday and have experienced temporary pains in the chest and in my lungs. I think also it depends on how much you smoke I only had it when I smoked a ton of it but now I have lowered my tolerance and dont really have any chest pain. I have a friend too who experiences pain there.

smoking weed, chest pains, high cholesterol ...doctor's visit anyone?
Indeed.
visit.
Please.
this could or could not be bad.
But if I were you, i'd rather not take a chance.

hey i am experiencing the exact same case that you are on the left hand side and it suddenly started for no reason like 2 years ago i am currently 21 and i have this pain a lot especially after smoking weed.
i went to see as many as 10 different doctors and examined my heart my lungs my stomach and pretty much everything else the last doctor told me that it is related to my intestines and that is what is causing me the pain and he prescribed me medication but nothing seems to work...

Please inform me if you solved your problem and how?
this is really important to me because this pain is starting to drive me crazy...

thanks in advance

I had smoked for awhile and stopped for a few months. When I started smoking again, I started getting the chest pains on the left side. Now its gotten worse. It sometimes gets hard to breath. I went to several doctors and they knew nothing. Finally, my school doctor told me that it is an inflamation of on the walls of your chest, arthiritis. Take some Aleve or rub some icy-hot on it; works everytime.

Im 25 and I've been smoken weed sence I was 14, I dont smoke tobacco, only grass, and I dont drink coffee or anything else but water and milk! Anyways for the last year I have been getting pains in my chest on my left side, and on my left hand, a vain looks like it swells sometimes on my palm. I also get pain in my left leg and foot! I havent seen a doctor yet but it hurts so much that I will be going to the hospital tomorrow! I know its from smoken, I smoke when I wake up to when I sleep! but I've been trying to quit for months and its hard! I know that this will be my down fall, and if I dont change my habbits it will kill me! So to those who are listening, I want you to know that I'm trying everything in my power to stop smoken and there should be more help and research for people out there that just smoke grass! everyone I know smokes and it would be nice to get away and try to clean up my habbit! TY for listening! Smoken has always been my outlet,,,, I need to find another way to numb my emotional pain besides smoken!

I will come back to let you know what the doctor here says! I will also try aleve : )

i think its nothing serious, but you cannt neglect it, do some regular exercise, lets see, if it keeps on for a couple of days, off course you should see a doctor!

I also have been experiencing something very similar after smoking weed. I'm 25 and have been smoking for over 10 years, but the chest pains have just been happening over the past year. My chest would tighten and sometimes my hands and feet would get numb, and sometimes my left foot would hurt as well. And it would last for 30 mins to over an hr. I do have a history of asthma as well but not since I was 4 hrs old. I want to see a doctor but I have no insurance. If anyone has any info on what this could possibly be. Please post. Thanks !

well smoking while having high cholsterol well it can be many things. any smoker if its weed or just a cigarette experience little pain in chest. because smoke is not good for you it damages your instestine and so much more. its weakens your immune system. it could be many things. i suggust to slowly quit or quite head cold. just to see if it gets better. im expeierence somewat simmilar probs only in other areas and its cigarettes that are causing it. and when i did smoke weed. i was alawys getting sick cuz immune system was weakening from the ganja and da cigarettes. so a quite b see doc c live with it.

hi i think i have been smoking weed for almost 5 years now, and very rececntly i have been having pain on alternate sides of chest, may be with lungs when it's on right. i hope it could be due to some gastritis. because it goes off after properly exhaling gas from somewhere and gives great relief. i hope there's nothing serious about it.

Hi, I have only smoked weed maybe 6 times over the last year, and I experience sharp pains on my left side of the chest into my left arm down to my hand. I have only gotten really high once, and that was my first time. I had had a panic attack, and my whole body felt like it was crawling all over, but now its just my left arm and left side of the chest. I don't even have to smoke the weed. I can just be around people who are smoking it and I instantly feel that pain. Its like a pain, but feels like my arm and chest are just crawling with discomfort. I will say that I was born with bad lungs already, because my mother had smoked when she was pregnant with me. So much so that when my brother was born he had to go on a lung machine, because his lungs were so bad.

I also have smoked pot on a regular basis for just around two years now and have recently stopped smoking cigarettes in the past 6 months. This summer however i freaked myself into thinking i was having a heart attack so i went to the emergency room and got chest xrays. The results failed to reveal anything and i went to have a stress test done as well. I am currently 20 years old and have been diagnosed with high blood pressure at the age of 16. It is fairly well regulated however and is currently treated with medication. I have had these pains off and on for the past 5-6 months and they are a dull achy feeling that comes and goes. Since having seen a cardiologist and him finding nothing abnormal I have been thinking about seeking another opinion despite their saying nothing is wrong. I also have very recently quit smoking pot to see if this helps. I will report any changes i find and hopefully the elimination of smoke into my lungs will yield a resolution for my dull chest pain. If anyone has not seen a doctor and are experiencing these pains it is vital to see a doctor. They know alot more about these symptoms than we do so hope all is well and stays well.
