Smoking Cannabis And Marijuana. Chest Pain, Heart Burn. Is Esophagus Damaged?
hello, I am 20 years old and have recently been having chest pain when i use marijuana. Ive already seen a doctor and it appears to be nothing wrong with my heart of lungs. The only thing left i can think of is my esophagus . I have regular heartburn , and have had it for years. Im wondering if theres a possibility that my esophagus is damaged and smoking cannabis would make it hurt because it is inflaming the tissue?

hello , yes it seems that esophagus is effected pls have endoscopy done to confirm the problem, meanwhile stop taking these harmful drugs , and increase water intake , fibrous fruits intake like apple papaya etc do let us know the problem in more details to work the case by homoeopathy and for abolishing the desire for cannabis /marijauna take care
