Will It Be Safe To Smoke Weed When There Is A Damage Of Ventricle Leed?
Hi, I m 17 year old female and I have congenital heart defect since I was born & had my first pacemaker put in when I was 3. I recently had (in early January) to get a whole new pacer and the ventricle leed replaced. Now it seems that my other (the 2nd of the 2 leeds) has to be replaced also. But it seems though it is in no rush to get that one changed since the damaged leed isn t as important to get changed. My question is, can I smoke weed even though (my not so important) leed is damaged?

Hiii read through your query and I must say that no doctor in the world will suggest you to go ahead with smoking weed or cigarettes. We all suggest NO SMOKING. Please dont smoke and when you have pacemaker especially. I suggest you to have lots of water and fruits. If you stressed with your life which made you to smoke please go for yoga and meditation, also go for sports and exercises.It will reduce your stress.Listen to good music enjoy your life.Stay cool and relieve your stress rather than smoking. Hope I have answered your query. Have a healthy day and life ahead!!!
