Dull pain in left lung

2018-05-09 06:54:48
Hello doctor, For the past month, I have been feeling a wierd sensation in my left lung. It is not a sharp pain, but it causes discomfort and I can't stop thinking about it. I  have never smoked tobacco but I have been smoking cannabis for about 6 months, 3-4 times a week to help with my anxiety. The pain comes and goes, but for most of the day I don't feel the pain. But once I start thinking about it, it doesn't seem to go. I initially thought it was a breathing problem related to anxiety but I can distinctly feel that it is from left lung and my right lung feels totally fine.I do not face any problems breathing nor am I experiencing any other symptoms to my knowledge. I have also stopped smoking for about 2 weeks but the pain has not gone away. Please help me, this is making me very anxious to go to the hospital because I do not want my parents to know about this. Eagerly waiting for your reply.

Hi. I understand your concern s. The reason for all the symptoms is smoking and cannabis. At this young age do not spoil your health. You will need to undergo a detailed examination and investigation like chest x ray and pulmonary function test. Consult a pulmonologist for the same at the earliest. Do not neglect as it may worsen. You may also need help to quit smoking and cannabis.

Please do not smoke cannabis. It is worse than smoking tobacco. It can lead to reduce blood suppy to your heart. Please do an ECG and show a physician.
