Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having mostly anxiety related chest symptoms because your age is too young (15) for cardiac and pulmonary diseases.
But,since you are smoking marijuana, we need to rule out cardiac and pulmonary causes first.
So get done
1. ECG
2. Chest x ray
3. PFT (pulmonary function test).
ECG is needed to rule out cardiac cause.
Chest x ray and PFT is needed to rule out pulmonary causes.
If all of the above are normal, then no need to worry much for cardiac and pulmonary causes.
Your chest symptoms are due to anxiety only.
So consult psychiatrist and start appropriate treatment.
Avoid smoking marijuana.
