Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My heart seems to be beating quite hard compared to normal and I have been experiencing this for the past week or two. Do you know why this might be. I recently stopped smoking marijuana having smoked it full time for a while. I also smoke around 15 cigarettes a day. Any ideas?
