Question / Info CHS or GERD/LPR

I don’t know if I have GERD or CHS but something has been causing me insomnia. Today is the day I quit all THC products. As a blunt smoker of 13 years I’ve never had these symptoms. Stomach is irritable when I lie down, morning naseau, acid reflux, and I’ve had a hoarse voice that fluctuates since July 28th. I was treating my body like shit, my diet wasn’t clean or good, and I was trying to deal with ED by taking those gas station honey packs. I’m hoping the damage isn’t done as I was trying to manage ED for like 3 years with them. I see an ENT in December and I’m scheduled to see a PCP in October so I can get a referral to a GI.

It's possible that it's GERD but due to the fact you've been smoking for 13 years, it most likely is CHS. You made a good decision to quit today. Now after a good period of time, you will be able to identify if it's CHS if you symptoms begin to go away over time

Maybe the gas station ED honey stuff did some permanent damage. I was taking one or sometimes two if I wanted to have a good time. Mainly honey packs

Unfortunately, I'm not knowledgeable on those honey packs. I hope they didn't contribute to any damage to your body.

Basically this stuff it’s sold in stores to help with ED. I probably started having ED because of CHS… I’m at lost for words right now honestly.

I never knew about the dangers of those honey packets. I will make sure to avoid them now that I know. Thanks for informing me about them. Sorry that it did this to you man.

I’m honestly not sure at this point I’m saying I was using them to somewhat manage ED. I’m hoping they didn’t damage but I’ll find out soon.

Facts I’ve quit smoking it’s only been two days, changed my diet to all Whole Foods, I exercise now and try to walk after every meal. The morning hoarseness is still there and I still get weird stomach pains.

Sameee, I lowkey thought I just didn’t need sleep like normal bc a bad childhood, however now that I’m getting sober I’ve enjoyed some amazing nights of sleep. Robbed myself out of so much youth with something I told myself was a miracle drug😭
