Hi, welcome to Health care magic forum.
Any smoking will be bad for health, and more over it is marijuana , which will have effect on the C.N.S. and can cause damage to the brain and nervous tissues supplying heart and other tissues.
As there is a symptom, there is a posibility of the exacerbation of the disease.
Any how be in touch with the cardiologist for follow up.
Wishing for a good luck . Thank you.
