Have Pneumomediastinum, On Prednisone, Albuterol Inhaler. Can I Smoke Weed ?

Hello I have pneumomediastinum , I am on prednisone and an albuterol inhaler for a few days for medication. I have no weezing, no chest pain , and feel much better. I can feel some air bubbles in my chest from the pneumomediastinum but they do not hurt. Can I smoke weed? Will it make it worse? When can I start smoking weed? I have been treated for it for the past 4 or 5 days so I am well onto my recovery.

recovery doesn't mean that you succumb to your unwanted habits. if possible postpone your smoking idea as far as you can.
continue with the prescribed medications......
