Does The Usage Of Chronic Marijuana Usage Cause Heart Problems?

I recently quit Marijuana and I m worried about a tightness / funny feelings heart rate in my left side. I used to smoke poppers (Marijuana w/ very little Cigarette) quite frequently. I recently went to a clinic, and I quit because I was feeling sick and noticed my one side was hurting. I had a nasty cough and started to experience Nausea, sleeplessness, and headache / Anxiety from Insomnia of quitting the drug. My blood pressure is normal and rested heart rate yesterday was 52. Is there heart problems that can arise from Chronic Marijuana Usage or am I just really anxious?

Hi i read your query very carefully.

It's a good thing that you want to quit from marijuana abuse. What you are experiencing is related to drug addiction and you should consult an addictolog for proper medication to help you passing out this feeling.

Hope it was of help!
