Suggest Remedy For Chronic Cough Caused By Smoking Marijuana
Question: I have been smoking marijuana for the past 15 years and have had some kind of chronic cough for the past 3-4 years producing excess amount of phlegm which is now containing black stools. My tongue has a constant white coating which is very difficult to remove. I have also an upper back pain for the past few month which is at the exact same point. I havent seen a doctor for over 10 years as I was always petrified. Could you please advise what do you think this is so I have some idea before visiting a doctor. Many thanks
I do not have problem with breathing at all, but I feel like something is at the back of my throat all the time and sometimes the coughing comes like some kind of attack starting with itchy throats and then I just cannot stop coughing, it happens at any time, during speaking, eating, sleeping etc. I have also extremely itchy legs but only in the evenings, normally after shower.
I defiantly don drink enough during the day and my mouth feels dry at all time, i guess due to the tick white coating on my tongue. Also sometimes I'm sweating during the night top to toe. I have difficulties waking up in the morning, im forcing myself to sleep and when I finally able to get out of bed I don't feel fresh. I don't generally feel tired during the day tho.
I also have issues with my libido. I'm 31 in a healthy relationship but somehow cant get in a mood :s my periods cycles are also irregular between 32-38 days but sometimes even 45 days. Im petrified ;(

Brief answer....you are suffering from bad effects of marizuana smoking
Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand our concern.
Marizuana ( cannabis ) contains thousands of organic as well as inorganic chemicals which are detrimental to your all the organs of your body including lungs. Chronic smoking results in excessive production of sputum,chronic coughing,wheezing, acute bronchitis etc.
It leads to dryness of mouth which causes white coating on your tongue. Less water consumption also promotes dryness of mouth.
As far as your back pain is concerned,it could be muscle strain or even lack of calcium and VIT D resulting in continuous back ache.
Marizuana is known to result in decrease of libido.
You need to consult a doctor and get yourself examined. But the main point is that you have to quit smoking marizuana. I know it is a very difficult thing but to regain your health,you have to quit it. You have to do it slowly as quitting cold turkey would cause various withdrawal symptoms. In this regard you may have to take the help of a de addiction specialist.
don't get terrified as everything shall fall in place once you are able to kick of your habit of smoking marizuana.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
