chest pain when i smoke weed

Just about everytime i smoke pot i get really bad chest pain. This has been happening for about 6 months. I have been smoking pot for about 6-7 years. My boobs are freakin huge and they seem to make the chest pain so much worse. The only way to relieve my chest pain is by lifting my breasts up. I went to my doctor when my chest pain first started happening... she took X rays and told me i had asthma.... gave me some pills that didnt help... One night I smoked some pot and my chest hurt, all of the sudden i had a SHARP pain in my right side that went down my right arm and made it tingle all over. My body felt terribly weak and shakey. I went to the Emergency room and as soon as i told the doctor i had smoked pot he treated me like ****. I asked him why i was having this pain and he said because i smoked pot... i said ya im SO sure thats why. then he replied... well it must have been some real good stuff.... like i said i've been smoking pot for many years... I also smoke cigarettes... which i have been doing for about 6-7 years also... the doctor from the emergency room wrote down two diff. "symptoms" which i couldnt let you know what they are because i lost the paper (i know i know) but what do you think????

Stop smoking the pot, and the fags! but firstly youu must stop smoking pot. If you have asthma then it could kill you. If I was you I would go and get help to get off the pot!

I have been smoking weed for like 9 months now, and all of a sudden i was having numbness in the right side of my head.I went to the doctor and i took a cat scan on my head, the results was ok.So i know i didnt had a tumor or anything.The doctor told me i have a nerve ending problem so he gave me something for it and it helped me for like a week.After i got well i decided to smoke again.But ive noticed that i was  having some serious chest pains, i felt like i was having a heart attack my chest would lock up that wasnt a good feeling at all so i went in the tub and water only made my chest feel worst i felt like i was going to die. I had trouble breathing my head was tingling i felt dizzy and very weak my whole body was shaking felt like i was having a seizure. My arms would just feel like pins and needles for a couple of hours. When im like that i have to lay down most of the time. My breast was hurting so bad to the point where they got numb so i realized weed was the cause of  my problems so i stop smoking for a couple days, and i was feeling a little bit better but i started up again... and my chest problems got worse so i made a promise to stop. But if i dont have a smoke i get depressed and miserable i really miss getting high but i cant take the risk anymore.What is wrong with me why cant i get high without having chest pain and numbess?

I had the same feelings befor too, but I went to the hospital and found that I had GERD GastroIntestinal Reflux Disease. Its acid reflux heartburn all in one. I cannot smoke anymore or drink/eat lotsa acidy foods- lemonade, tea, beer, grapefruit, tomatoes, salsa, etc. So I hope this helps...
