What Causes Shortness Of Breath And Pain Under Chest After Smoking Weed?
I have been experiencing shortness of breath and a pain under my left ribcage almost immediately after smoking weed. I ve smoked weed regulary for the past year and have been experiencing this for the past month. It starts off with a pounding heart beat That I can actually hear. Followed by tingling and numbness all over. The other day after smoking a blunt with a friend my hands began sweating very bad and My hands began shaking uncontrollably. I ve done research and told myself that it was just anxiety but it always seems to pinpoint to right under my left ribcage. PLEASE help me I don t want to stop smoking weed but I will if I have to feel like im dying when all Im trying to do is relax
