I have mild pulmonary stenosis and I smoke. Sometimes I get a little light headed or tired after I smoke a cigarette. Does it have anything to so with my condition? Also if i smoke marijuana my heart beat speeds up and with smoking anything my hands get extremely cold, even in warm weather. Do these symptoms and my condition have anything to do with each other?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, pulmonary stenosis (PS) causes pulmonary hypertension (PH). Smoking also causes PH. So if you are smoking, PH can worsen. And this causes all the symptoms. So better to quit all forms of smoking. You can enroll in dead diction center for this. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
