twenty five year old male that weighs 200lbs...i recently developed angina a few weeks ago. After large meals or even at random i get chest pain that seems to subside within 10 minutes if i sit down.. My questions is two parts one is this something that i need to see a doctor right away? and i do smoke marijuana can this provoke angina?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, you should definitely consult doctor for your chest pain (angina). You should get done ECG and 2d echo to rule out heart related diseases for your chest pain. If both of these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) car also cause similar chest pain. Your pain is associated with large meals. This can worsen HERD. Marijuana smoking can worsen HERD and angina both. So better to avoid Marijuana smoking. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Avoid hot and spicy food. Take pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach. You will mostly improve with all these. Don't worry, you will be alright but first rule out heart diseases and quit Marijuana smoking. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
