Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Undesratnding your concern. As per your query chest pain while breathing after smoking Marijuana is because marijuana is cannabis and the drug is known to produce intense excitation and leads to anxiety symptoms which can lead to dizziness, increase heart beats and chest pain due to muscle spasm. Need not to panic about it. Avoid smoking marijuana. If ever you will take that go out for ventilation and not in closed space. Visit physician once and get it examined if chest pain increases as this is something you need proper check up and you have to quit your habit. Till now take anti anxiety drugs such as beta blockers propanol.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Mahehswari
