Sensitivity to smoke: For some reason, or there may be some adulterant in the pot. However, when someone gets a negative effect each time they use a drug, whether alcohol, pot or heroin, but they keep doing it, I have to wonder whether they have a significant drug problem. You should see your doctor for an examination, and should consider whether continuing smoking weed is good for both your body and your mind.

Thoracic outlet synd: This is an unusual symptom and should be checked by your physician. It is possible that the normally wide outlet to your chest (thorax) is narrowed by something - this should be evaluated carefully.

Reflux: Most likely reflux. Along with taking a ppi (prilosec otc - take 1 hours before meal). You should try do the following. Keep your portions small. Do not eat 2 hours before you lay down. Try and sleep on an incline (you can do this by sleeping on a wedge pillow). Avoid these foods: acidic foods (tomoto's, onions, red sauce) fatty foods, chocolate, mint, and of course spicy foods. See ur md if not.

Visit an ENT: When in doubt it is important to get a second or even a third opinion. An ear nose and throat (ENT) doctor may provide an answer to your concerns. We in the health care field unfortunately sometimes forget that the reason we are here is to "listen" to our patients. When we can't find an obvious answer it is difficult to admit we don't know. Sorry about that. See the ent, hopefully that will help.

How right you are. We are being unethical if we do not admit we do not know something. Our job is to render the most honest opinion we can, but if we do not know, say so and go find out!

See your physician: It might not be anything, but it could be sore throat or an allergic reaction. Get checked out. You'll be able to stop worrying about it too. Best wishes.
