Question: I am experiencing heart burn right now and it won't go away.. I smoked marijuana last night and probably ate too much food... I'm 14!! Is this normal for my age and does it have anything do with the fact that I smoke weed?
Brief Answer:
looks.like indigestion; ECG rule out heart cause
Detailed Answer:
hello
Apart from the symptom of heart burn you have vnot mentioned anything like - perspiration, palpitation or ghabrahat and pressure on chest or pain in left arm..so, it may not be due to cardiac cause.
I think the symptom is related to indigeation- this usually improves with antacid- gelusil or lupila tablet/ pantoperazole or rabiperazole capsule.
Try to relax and lie down. With medicine, indiestion should improve with 10-20 minutes.
If at all there an increased problem or you are excessively worried then : getting an ECG will rule out any cardiac cause.
Heart burn can also be due to gall stones ( can be seen at your age also) - this will be diagnosed with ultrasound abdomen.
However, i think it is probably due to indiestion, take an antacid now and if you feel you may see a doctor.
##This does not looks like due to marijuana intake.
Hope the reply helps you
Please feel free to ask more questions for clarification.
Wish you speedy recovery!
