Has Anyone Else Had Chest Pains From Smoking Marijuana?

Well first off i am a current medical Marijuana user, so anyone that just has negative thing to say like “I shouldnt be smoking in the first place” needs to reconsider.I have had severe chest pains in the past when I smoke a specific type of MJ mostly the stronger indicas, some of these occasions have really been scary to the point I thought i was having a heart attack, I learned to control it for a while but just the other day i once again had a good scare, about to drive myself to the hospital……The pain comes quick, like a stabbing pain and I have to keep tightening my chest to make sure it doesnt sting, I have thought its an anxiety attack, thats why MJ was recommended to me for my depression and anxiety, my doctor says its from acid reflux messing with my heart, in other word Heart Burn…But i very much disagree, its too strong and from what I have researched the symtoms like the stabbing are very much like a heart attack.
Any recomended exams I should have done, ekg..etc??

I’m a heart patient that smokes M.J. and have had some strange feelings of faster heart beats but my pacemaker never has activated & I’ve mentioned it to my heart DR. she said it does increase heart rate and has some effect on breathing so maybe your exeperiencing some of these symptoms

yeah get a chest xray, ekg, stress test and possibly a CT scan to check and make sure it isnt galbladder or anything. But let me tell you, I have anxiety and acid reflux and THEY CAN FEEL LIKE THE WORST chest pains ever, muuuch like a heart attack, I went to the ER because I could have swarn thats what it was. Unbelieveable. Best of Luck.
