So I just came back from the doctor and he gave me a prescription nasal spray and told me to take my choice of either clairitin or zyrtec. Thats for my hacking/coughing.

As for the urination he took a urine sample only to come back and tell me that everything is normal. WTF?

He also took my blood sugar and that was also normal so no diabetes.

I explained to him the situation about smoking, the recent stresses in my life (there has been a lot), lack of exercise, among other habits and he came up with several conclusions. The first one:

He says that pot may be relaxing the muscle that holds urine in and contracting the muscle that lets it out. You obviously want the opposite to be happening. Hence, everytime I smoke it feels like I have to pee really bad and its hard for me to get my urine flow going. After I'm done smoking, I'm still a little messed up until the next day. If i smoke everyday which use to be the case then I will probably have a recurring problem. My question is What the hell? If what the doctor is saying is true then how come I have never read about anyone else ever having this problem, not to mention the various people I have spoken with who are also smokers.

He said, it may be a problem of an over-active bladder. I can possibly see this because for my whole life I have always drank a lot of water and have peed a lot as a result. However lately it is becoming a nuisance.

Another thing he brought up was the possibility of an under-active sphincter. We didn't really touch on this.

He said that the problem is most likely functional and not physical, although it may be chemical which I'm assuming is marijuana related.

He also said that those things combined with stress could be the cause to frequent urination problem.

I see my therapist on Monday who is an MD and we'll go over the results and we'll see what his thoughts are on it. I'm sure he's going to tell me to go see a urologist.
