Recent tightness in chest area after smoking

Discussion in 'Marijuana Consumption Q&A' started by O G, Sep 30, 2013.

    Im not new to smoking which is why this is really pissing me off. Lately after I smoke I get this weird pain in my chest / rib cage area and I really don't know why. I think it has to do with me being oonstantly anxious after moving states recently but even after I moved I wasn't dealing with this shit. I was wondering if anyone else feels this as well?

    It's usually after a gravity bong that I feel the most uncomfortable but still even when I use a bowl or roll a joint I still usually feel slight discomfort. If I get my mind off of it it'll go away, however sometimes I'm just really stoned and don't know what to do so for some reason I focus on the discomfort

    Thanks for any helpful responses

    I have breathing problems when I smoke, I always cough way more than my friends, and I always have tightness in my chest. THC is an irritant to the lungs, maybe you have asthma or something, and it's just a bad combination?

    I get discomfort in my lower chest after taking big hits some times, it's gas/smoke trapped in air possibly. All I know is that it goes away within an hour usually and i'm always fine later :D

    Thanks for the responses

    I've had this discomfort for over 30 years of toking.  I'm 71 now with the early stages of emphysema.  If it was going to kill me I think it would have by not.  I don't smoke very often anymore because it makes me cough really hard and it makes the congestion in my entire respiratory system way  worse.  Now I use a Vapir No2 mostly.  It doesn't cause congestion nearly as much as smoking does.

    Dabbin?  What is that?  I don't know that one.  I'm a ignorant country hick and don't know all the current names for things.

    @[member="OldPothead"] to take a dab means to smoke hash oil - butane hash oil or BHO exactly

    I dab, fewer plant carcinogens, but it's super potent so you'll probably cough more anyway xD

    Thanks guys.  I'm not sure I'll get into extractions.  I like bud and hash.  Don't like eating it.  Hash oil is nice but a hassle to make and I can't afford to buy it.

    I get the feeling that my stomach is sticking out really far and i can't suck it back in. I also feel like my nose is slightly pinched closed and makes breathing through my nose feel really weird even though its clear and booger free..

    I've had this too! Thought it was lung related but it turns out it was something to do with the esophagus. It felt like my insides were being all crushed up.
