Im havint alot of problems latley...

[lazy smoker7]

Well ok... I may worry more than i should but what ever. I am sick of going to the doctor and telling them I smoke and I am having these problems and they just blow me off and tell me to stop smoking. Well b4 i had this horrible horrible cough and i went to the doctor and i told him i smoked and he said just stop smoking and your cough will go away well i show up to the same doctor 2 weeks later with namonia. anyways on to my new problems and i cant tell if this is smoke related or what. Anyways every since I was about 11 I been smoking ciggerates and weed pretty much just about every day and i am 17 now. Well first of all the past 2 years or so i occasinally get this fuckign horrible cough and then it goes away when i slow down my smoking. So anyways I kept smoking until I went to some gay 12 step program my parents put me because they thoght i smoked to much weed not like my parents are against weed they just thought i had a problem smoking all day every day. Anyways i get out in 5 months healthy as shit and my lungs are breathing like fuckign no other. So yep I start smoking bud again :stoned: anyways after a few months i start to get my cough back and usual crap. But latley I am getting pains near the bottom of my neck and areas just under my adams apple like veyr mild pains that come and go at least once a week and if if i tilt my head up and breathe i can feal pain in the lower parts of my neck and i would suppose these are my wind pipes or what ever. Also currently I am having problems getting air. I mean if I take a normal breath I just dont feal that I am getting the normal amount of air i should... and only every once in a awhile if i fight for a deep breathe of air do i get a relaxing full breath of air. Now keep in mind b4 i say this i worry to much than i should. Anyways this thought always comes to me that I am developing cancer of my wind pipes/lungs. ( not to mention i get pains in my back also when i breathe some time). Also I wanted to mention that I had a really bad thraot infection that did not go away for about 2 and half weeks with meds. So i look up cancer on the internet and it says symptoms.. are pains in neck, difficulty breathing, persistant throat infection.. the only symptons i dont have are chronic cough and coughing up blood. So what do you guys think i may be developing something or should i just not worry about it at all? Also I am having problems with the glands in my neck which hurt someitmes. So Ive come down to the conclusion that i probally do not have cancer or anything like that but i am getting asthma due to the diffuculty breathing. So what do u guys think this stuff is just happening naturally or you guys thinks I may be getting astma or hopefully not cancer? ( why i worry so much because i heard of story about 3 yr olds getting lung cancer from second hand smoke) Thanks for reading my post and thanks if u answer

oh also if any of this shit is from smoking.. I would have to say its from the tabacco smoking not the cannabis smoking as i believe and seriously do believe cannabis smoking is far better for you than tabacco smoking.

Your symptoms sound like a classic respiratory infection. Your smoking, especially the amount you smoke, is undoubtedly leaving you more susceptable and worsening the symptoms. The pain in your neck is most likely swollen glands from your bodies anti-viral mechanisms. It may sound gross, but the reason your neck hurts when you get sick is because those glands are basically the virus graveyard, where all the dead microbes are being sent to be processed.

My advice:

1. Get some odourless garlic pills, they can be bought anywhere really. Garlic has a chemical with powerfull anti-viral properties, and these pills work pretty well for me. But eating a raw clove won't do much if anything, you want the concentrated extract from the pills. The directions will say something like "take 3 a day", but really if you want results you should have about 15 a day (while you're sick). Don't worry, there's really no toxicity issues to be conncerned about even at these doses.

2. Vitamin-C man. A lot of people write the stuff off because it doesn't really work. Why doesn't it work? Because the recommended dose is WAYYYYYYYY less than your body actually needs. I've been reading a lot of studied on this, and they indicate that while the FDA (AKA the Bullshitters) recommends about 300mg a day, you should take about 3,000mg a day (or 3 grams) to see real results from your cold. Believe me, this has worked for me, my immune system is incredible since I got onto this.

Remember that taking a vitamin-E supplement (vitamin-E is abundant in eggs and chessnuts btw) will double the staying time of vitamin-C. Start with 2,000mg a day, then work your way up to 6,000mg after a day or two while you're sick. Space your doses too, so you don't expell a lot of it in your urine. Once you're better, I'd recommend taking 3,000-4,000mg daily in your regular life, or 1,000-2,000mg if you eat a lot of fruit (seriously, INCREASE YOUR FRUIT INTAKE for many reasons).

3. Get good sleep. Your body and mind will only work at half capacity without adaquate sleep.

4. You'll never guess this one. QUIT SMOKING....... not that anybody listens. sheesh.

I'd be afraid if I were you and would quit smoking, you obviously have done your share of smoking. Just stop, especially if you are in danger of cancer.

I'm not shure man. But I say try to quit with the ciggerates, and buy a nice vape so its easy on you're lungs. Also should try what mrdevious suggested

well i have pretty much stopped smoking... cause latley i been smoking just maybe like 6 joints a week like ill smoke 3 on tues and 3 on sat and i am trying not to smoke any cigs at all. So I really do not want to give up smoking cannabis because i love it way to fucking much but you guys think my new system of smoking twice a week is working for me? I mean ever since I started this my cough went away....
