Ok so I did some coke and my heart started hurting after a few lines....I was having a hard time breathing and it took a while to calm myself down...I've tried this repeatedly to see if it was how much I did or if it was just cuz of the coke but even when I did small bumps, my heart still hurts sometimes....it sux cuz I can't stop focusing on it once the pain starts...

I've heard ppl say that its normal with coke? Any theories?
 
Check your heart rate, your body is telling you to slow down. Some people can do an eight ball themselves, some people an only do a few bumps. I would get heart cramps after doing a lot of it at once and not drinking water.. You gotta stay hydrated

If your heart rate is over 110 but under 120 take a break.. If it's over 120 take a long break and drink some water, smoke some weed
 
Cocaine is hard on the heart, if it's bothering you that much, you might want to stay away from it, for safety sake. Your body is trying to tell you something.
 
Yea I just wanted 2 be sure....it seems 2 go away completely but maybe my anxiety makes me feel it more

same here. i recommend using other stimulants, although it sucks there are none that are as good and as short acting as coke. if you don't want ot be wired all night, amphetamines are not a good option.

If you dont want to be wired all night, hard drugs in general are not a good option. Smoke some blunts if your in that kind of situation.

^^^^^^^^^^^^

This!


Ive hated coke from day 1 & ive tried it a handful of times. I rather drink some energy drinks or something if I wanna be wired.
 
actually there's numerous reason his heart rate is like that and if it's because of anxiety then weed would be a good answer. i always smoked weed when i got too geeked, just kills your high
 
i tried smoking weed but sometimes it gets worse, im gona give it 1 more try cuz i still have some left n see how it goes, thanks fro all your input
 
Are you young and reasonably fit and healthy?

"Heart pain" is either angina (heart not getting enough oxygen, so the muscle complains) or a heart attack (same, but to the extent where heart muscle actually dies). Usually angina is very rare in young people without genetic heart disorders etc. However, occasionally coke can cause heart attacks in the young and healthy because it not only speeds up your heart rate it also constricts the blood vessels supplying your heart. If you seriously think you are getting heart pain from coke, get yourself to an emergency room ASAP..

I very much doubt a few lines could give you angina/a heart attack - it's far more likely to be palpitations or chest wall pain from breathing too hard, or a panic attack, or psychosomatic - but no one over the internet is going to be able to accurately tell you the cause of it without seeing you face to face and doing an ECG/EKG!

Basically, if you are concerned its your heart, either get medical help at the time or just stay away from coke..
 
if your left arm goes numb, and you feel like there are pins and needles shooting from the front of your chest to the back, you need to go to the ER because you are having a heart attack.

You could also have costrocongitis (sp?), which is a weak chest wall lining/sensitivity. If you touch in between your ribs in certain areas it can mimick the feeling of chest pains. Basically, since your heart is beating harder, it can create "chest pains" because it is putting pressure on the areas where you have weak chest wall lining.
 
Alot of people mistake muscle pains for heart pains , when you think you are having these pains press around teh muscles in the area to see if it reacts to the pain you are feeling and if it does you know its not your heart

This is a good way for people that get paranoid about things liek that and to calm them selves down because they then know its nothing to worry about

If you are getting a central pain going up and down the chest and a pain down your left arm this is the warning signs that you have something wrong with your heart and need to seek medical help for sure !!!
 
There is a common wisdom (not scientifically based) in South America that sildenafil (Viagra) is heart protective when doing coke. The confusing variable is that many people there have sex + coke, and of course if you have that and are a man you need Viagra to keep up proper erections.

One (just "1") study reports possible benefits from Viagra to increase the oxygen supply to muscles. From a common sense point of view, if Viagra also dilates the heart blood vessels, it should minimize the risk of oxygen depletion.

I wonder if users on this forum have reported chest pains when doing coke + Viagra. Or conversely if they never (or hardly ever) reported chest pains when doing that combination.

Problem is, if Viagra is really protective when taken with coke, you cannot count on the powers-that-be to admit it or sponsor studies to confirm it. Viagra is a legal but slightly sinful drug. Coke is illegal and sinful. Viagra + coke is the devil incarnate. But we should watch out for reports that Viagra is good for heart conditions caused by oxygen depletion because that's the same as specific to coke, if I'm not mistaken.

All the same, if you have chest pains *while* doing coke, you can be sure they are related to the coke. You can't talk them away as psychosomatic or whatever.

slightly off topic, but compared to cocaine, are drugs like mdma bad for the heart in a similar way or not really?
 
Cocaine is a sodium channel blocker (which is why it's a local anesthetic) in addition to being really good at constricting blood vessels. This is the main reason cocaine is so cardiotoxic.

Drugs like amphetamine/MDMA are only vasoconstrictors and lack activity at the sodium channel so they do not numb you and are less toxic to the heart.
 
The last time I used cocaine I noticed this same thing. Sharp shooting pain in my chest/heart area. Scared me good. Not going to be doing coke for a long long long long time, if ever again. The pain was very intense.

dude where the hell did you get this information? have you heard the LOUDLY stated side effect (on commercials) "If you have a pre existing heart condition, or are experiencing chest pains, stop taking viagra immediately."

Besides that, we all know that viagra can lead to heart problems, so combining it with coke? horrible idea.

i ended up in the ER twice (they told me that it wasnt an actual heart attack but muscle pain(Costrocongitis) but feeling my heart beat 180bpm was pretty scary in itself.

let that scare be the end of it, trust me, the 1 or two times i tried just a line years later, it sent me spiraling back into that fear and chest pains/panic attacks ensued for weeks after using (even if just a line).

I strongly feel once you reach that freak out point, most people (there are the Charlie Sheens of the world) cannot return to enjoying the substance (cocaine) so why pay money to give yourself anxiety?
