Question 1

i was recently in a huge car accident my car flipped 6 times over the median on the interstate and my lungs collapsed isit dangerous to smoke marijana?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it could be: It is usual for people who are smoking marijuana to take very deep breaths and then to hold that breath for a period of time to increase the absorption of the drug. This maneuver increases pressure in the lungs, and if you have already had a pneumothorax, will expose you to the risk of it recurring. Were you smoking weed when you had the accident? If so, you have a problem with weed and need help.

Question 3

how to cope with a car accident?

Accepted Answer

Psychological Effect: I am assuming you are feeling the psychological effects of having had a car accident.  These might include worried, being jumpy or easily startled, not sleeping well, etc. You can start with self help books on relaxation techniques, eat well, talk to someone about your feelings, exercise. If that does not work, see your physician to be referred to psychologist.

Question 8

how can you safely exercise after a car accident?

Accepted Answer

Usually: It depends on how severe the accident. If you have been checked by the er or your primary or if you have no symptoms (or minor symptoms), then getting back to normal activities, including exercising, it a great way to recover. See your primary provider if you develop new symptoms.

Question 9

why am i hurting more two weeks after car accident?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends in part on the cause.  It is not unusual for a person who has a soft tissue injury to develop more severe symptoms days after the injury, as the swelling and inflammation increase.  A sprained ankle is an example of that.  When a person initially sprain an ankle, it does not look too bad, but days later it can become quite swollen.  Consider being checked.  Thank you.

Go to ER: If u think u have sustained internal injuries from a mva then go to the emergency room immediately for exam and possible ct scan of your chest/ abdomen.
