Chest Pain While Smoking Weed
Posted: 01-28-07 21:19pm

Sometimes when I smoke weed I get chest pain on my left hand side. It isn't horrible, but certainly noticable. Often the next day I still have that feeling. Sometimes when I don't smoke I get the same thing but it usually goes away in a minute or two. Since it's only on my left hand side I doubt that it's my lungs and am concerned that it's my heart. The feeling is that it is being gripped. First off, is it my heart? Second, what is going on if it is? And third, should anything other than stop smoking? I'm 16 and my cholesterol is kind of high if that means anything........ Thanks

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.

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.
