Marijuana, GERD, Nerve Issues

Hey all, got a question for you. I know I'm not the only person that gets these effects.

I use to use marijuana heavily, and it did wonders for me(medically and recreationally). One day I started getting chest pain. Long story short, found out I have acid reflux. It's been a few years later, I have extreme nausea all of the time. I rarely have chest pain, but when I do, it's when I smoke. Other things that come along with it are slight shortness of breath, numbness on the left side of my face, sometimes left limbs, and bloating that causes me to have to push my stomach out and it feels like my skin can't stretch more than my stomach wants to.(Weird right?) Has anyone had similar symptoms? Did switching the way you took cannabis help? I think it's clear the smoke is irritating some nerves in my esophagus/stomach. But hours after smoking, my high calms down, and my nausea is pretty much entirely gone, and remains beneficial til early the next day. I'm desperate for a way to cure my nausea and I know weed has such potential to help. I've tried Rick Simpson oil and it works to an extent, but not as much as I'd like. If I just keep forcing myself to intake cannabis, will my tolerance increase, and most symptoms go away? I know people can relate when you have such a tolerance, you almost don't get high anymore, you just get "regular".

 

Yeah I did, what about it? I'm just looking for some people that might have dealt with this before or have any experience with this.

 

I've read previous related situations and none really answered the question, and they were from almost a decade ago. From what I've seen atleast. Care to point more specifically where this would be in that section rather than flame me?

 

I apologize, I'm new to the boards, are you saying I should post this in Medical Marijuana > Usage and Applications?

 

Thank you very much for your reply. I use to have a vaporizing pen that I would put wax and oil in, but it did the same thing, and I've vaped out of an analog vaporizer, same problem. However, I have not thought about one with a bag, maybe it's the high temperature of the smoke that is effecting my GI tract in a negative way? I usually take small puffs because I already know beforehand it's going to cause this discomfort. But I refuse to give up on cannabis, there are definitely very medical properties of it I need. Thanks again

 

I rarely cough, but I will definitely try to breathe normally next time. I've been to Mayo Clinic and was diagnosed with Visceral Hypersensitivity which causes hypersensitive nerves in the belly and esophagus. Most edibles I try get me way too high, I wonder if I build a solid tolerance if these will subside. Too much THC for my nervous system causing misfired nerves all over my body.

 

Thank you very much, I will definitely give this a try. One crappy thing though is the fact that I live in a non legal state. So obviously all the bud is geared towards more THC or whatever, so even if a strain has say... .6% CBD, you're still reaping benefits from it? If so, awesome. I've been thinking about driving across states just to try these CBD rich strains.

 

I already don't smoke often. I usually only smoke once every couple weeks, and when I do I only take a couple puffs. 5 years ago is a different story, but I stopped smoking because of these symptoms. I usually only smoke if I've bad a couple beers also, it seems to calm my nervous system down slightly.

 

Do you ever get any chest pain and/or stomach bloating along with it?
