Experiencing Chest And Kidney Pain Due To Drugs And Smoking
Hey Doc, I have been experiencing chest pains which gradually goes to my gut then around my kidney area. I have been smoking marijuana for two years. The first year wasn t as often but the second year was more often. I smoked daily more then 3 times a day. Essentially I was classified as a heavy smoker. I quit about a month ago and I have been having chest pains. I started to have chest pains when I smoked at one time. Estimating 4 or 5 months ago and wasn t as severe as now. I have been having palpitations where my heart beat is irregularly slow. I smoked a lot of poppers which is cigarette mixed with weed from a bong. I also smoked blunts, papers mixed with cigarette and weed. I really hope since I quit I will be normal again because I don t feel the same as I did before I started smoking. Please Doc, help me !

you are having cannabis dependence and it has psychological dependence more than physical dependence. for cannabis dependence you should start benzodizepins like clonazepam diazepam etc and with that symptomatic treatment and sometimes you need anticraving drug in which FLUOXETINE works better. all your symptoms is related to your habit of cannabis addiction so stop cannabis as early as possible with the help of above drugs
