Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
Smoking of any kind including wood or weeds is definitely associated with heart problems.
Only acute thing that can happen is severe spasm of your myocardial arteries leading to severe chest pain and heart attack.
If this doesn't occurs acutely then in long term a person can develop gradual bloackage of arteries leading to a myocardial damage and heart attack.
I would like to know:
1. Since when are you doing this activity? Or is it that you did this for the first time?
2. Any problems like chest pain you had after that?
3. Are you a regular smoker of nicotine?
4. Any other illness like diabetes or Hypertension you suffer from?
Revert with these details for a better help.
Stay Healthy.
