Hello doctor,

I was smoking for an entire year. I stopped smoking last year. One month after that my THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) level was higher. I was wondering why. Kindly suggest.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

It is advisable to get physically examined and investigated to rule out any medical condition and treat it accordingly. Also, check vitals.

I would like to know some additional information.

  1. Are there any symptoms that you face currently?
  2. Are you taking any medicine currently?
  3. Do you take any medicine for blood pressure, sugar, thyroid diseases, or heart and cholesterol ailments?
  4. Do you do any exercise in a routine?
  5. Are you allergic to any medicine?
