Chest Pains....Frequent marijuana smoker...

Question

I'm female... 16.... 115 lb... For the past 2-3 days I've been having terrible pain when i breathe in and find it hard to take a deep breath without feeling as if im being stabbed in my chest It also hurts to lay on my right side.

the pain is right below my right breast right about where my rib cage is.

Ive bin smoking several times a day for about a year and most of the time theres tobacco in with the weed im smoking.

What's wrong wit me?...

Answer 1

go to the doctor

Answer 2

Sounds like pleurisy, inflammation of the membrane that separates the lungs from the rib cage.  Not much can really be done except anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).  Stop smoking for a while and see if it clears up.  If not, see a doctor.

See a doctor anyway, as hardly anybody here on Y!A are qualified to give medical advice.  I can only tell you what it sounds like to me. I am not a doctor.

Answer 3

the respitory problems are probably directly linked to the pot/tobacco if you trust your doctor i would ask them about it because they might give a more detailed diagnosis and have suggestions on how to stop the pain
