Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Smoking weed leads to anxiety symptoms and increase acid secretion. Anxiety can lead to chest pain due to muscle spasm and by lowering pain threshold. Increase acid production can cause chest pain due to acidity and acid reflux.

For treatment remain abstinent from weed use and smoking. In presence of anxiety treatment with anxiolytics will be helpful. Same time get evaluated for acidity and acid reflux.

Wishing you good health and all the best.
