Hi,

Yes, your headaches indeed could be due to the fumes of the smoke you are not used to causing you to feel headaches. I don't envy the position of having to tell your neighbor not to smoke his cannabis for the sake of your medical conditions, however, to me THAT seems exactly what you'll have to do if you want to not expose your body to unnecessary noxious fumes.

You could ask him to close his door or set up a large fan close to where the fumes come wafting over and just have it direct everything toward some other direction than other your son't bedroom.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care.

Regards,
Dr. Dariush Saghafi, Neurologist
