Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here...I am 25, and recently was released from the hospital for having a stress and virus induced heart attack.  troponin levels are around 16%, and after 2 days in the hospital I was released, and am on medication, with follow up with my cardiologist in a month.  I am not planning on using it anytime soon, but will I be able to use marijuana again?  I use a vaporizer to avoid additional harms caused by smoke
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I carefully passed through your question and would explain that marijuana can increase your cardiovascular risk and the risk for other possible heart attacks or stroke in the future. From the other hand, you should know that the risk of a heart attack increases up to 5-fold in the first hour after smoking marijuana. So, I would strongly encourage you to avoid smoking marijuana in the future. Hope to have been helpful! Wishing good health,
