gosh i hate the pain some days, its i from my left ribs ,i think thats costo its been going on for 18 months, i allways look on the neg side of the pain, because the pain gets close to the heart, i had a CT last year and that picked up emphersema on the edge of the lung, so the first thing i was going to do was pack in smoking,which i did and now vape, But at least i dont get out of breath thats a bonus, its just the damm pains, well i am 63, i dont like getting old,I no there is a lot of people worse off but you dont think about that when you feelling low, i would like to try some CBD oil for the anxiety and pain,But because i am on citalpram, i dont think you can do both will have to speak to the doctor first...

Hi Chris . Well done for giving up smoking. Probably the best thing you ever didfor your health.

Is it the emphysema that is causing the pain ? What does your GP suggest you do ? CBD oil probably won't help with anxiety. ( I may be corrected on that one) but helps a lot of people 's pain. As it doesnt havethe THC component it shouldn't interference with other medication but do check with your GP. Make sure he/she knows you are taking about cbd and not cannibis oil.

Hope it gets better soon.
