My 17 yr old son is physically sick every morning

[Mattk]

My son has recently started feeling very ill every morning and is usually physically sick.He did smoke marijuana until recently but has given up so Im hoping his symptoms are related to that rather than just being a coincidence.

Anyone with any related experience offer any advice ?

Thx

that must be really worryin for you, i havent had that experience with my 15 year old son,and i hope not to either.Altho ,like you say ,if hes just givin up smokin weed, perhaps its a phsycal reaction to it.People say you cant get addicted to it ,i beg to differ,my ex husband was and to my knowledge still is.So fingers crossed for you it will be just a symptom and will pass, altho if i doesnt clear up it might be worth a visit to your gp.best of luck to you.

Marijuana is not physically additcive but is psychologically addictive, he could be have a reaction to coming off it, but to be on the safe side seek advice from your GP

addictive then, all the same !!

I've never heard of anything like that in relation to giving up smoking weed, i'd get him checked out at the docs. Are you positive he's given up? If anything it sounds like when i was burning the candle at both ends smoking till the very early hours of the morning with only a few hours sleep and then trying to start the day as usual, i was sometimes sick and sometimes passed out.

perhaps he has now started eating it?

Matk, Does your son bring up acid/bile when he's sick? It could well be he has acid reflux brought on by the marijuana. A trip to the docs is needed here.

thanks guys.
he stopped smoking 3 weeks ago and i believe him but his sickness has only been over the last week or so.he feels really hungry but cant even face any food at all.
he claims he has felt this way since eating some cadbury buttons last week - but again maybe just coincidence but at least that would link with his sickness more readily.

Is he pregnant (sorry)......

We had a 17 yearold male patient who had stopped smoking cannabis and every morning when he first passed urine he would bork and sometimes be sick, he said he couldn't stand the smell and it hadn't happened before he stopped smoking. This is only one lad though so might not mean much. Hope it passes soon.

well then if its choc buttons - much choc was recalled due to salmonella recently so get to the doc
