I haven't been on this site in YEARS so I apologize if this was already discussed. I tried doing a search and while I found some relevant info, I couldn't find anything that discussed effects of rolling after having not done it in years.
It's been over three years since I've rolled (up until last night, but we'll forget about that for now).
I stopped rolling because I started to have severe anxiety and panic attacks. I always had them since I my first roll (I've only rolled on eight occasions, I think, and always one or less tablet/capsul). I have a very low tolerance for drugs. Even when I drink alcohol, which isn't very often, 2 shots can get me almost drunk and extremely hung over. That being said, one roll has me tripping like crazy.
Well, as the three years went by, I always had the anxiety. It became less frequent but never went away. It has become manageable so I never did see a doctor for it.
About a year ago I started working out and noticed my heart rate gets abnormally high. I would have a slight dull pain in my chest from time to time and random bursts of a rapid strong heart beat. I had blood work and and EKG done at the doctors and everything was fine so they had me do the treadmill stress test. After 4 minutes of powerwalking an incline I was up to 199 bpm. I stopped there because I was exhausted but I have gone up to 220 at the gym on the elliptical. My cardiologist said it "puzzled" him as to why it was so high without me fainting or being light headed. Simple things like standing up from laying down on the bed caused spikes on the EKG fron the stress test. They also did an ultrasound on my heart which came out normal and couldn't figure out what was causing it. I was supposed to have more tests done but I moved to another state.
Currently, my new doctor did an EKG again, which was fine and blood work. She said my thyroid was a little low which is probably causing my symptoms but it's not low enough to medicate. She doesn't seem to want to do more tests but I honestly don't believe it's my thyroid because my last doctor would have caught it in my blood tests. She also said it's not low enough to be a problem and could change in a few days and be normal again, so how would that cause my symptoms over the past year?! Maybe I had it longer than that but always took it for anxiety.
My question is, is it possible to have effects last this long? My doctor said it's not possible having been three years, but what if something got messed up back then and it just started to get worse recently? I have no known family history of any heart problems besides high blood pressure, which I don't have.
I don't know if it's an issue with my heart tissue, or it's the part of my brain that controls my heart beat. I just feel really confused and frustrated with my doctor as I feel she doesn't know anything and doesn't seem to want to refer me to a cardiologist, or I suppose neurologist if that's what's causing this.
Anyway, foolishly, I rolled last night. I figured it had been a while since I last did and there was great music so why not. I had a third of a capsule which normally could get me somewhat buzzed but it sucked, and half of a molly an hour or so later. It was nice and not too intense for me but the come down was terrible and I couldn't sleep. I was instantly reminded of all that anxiety I used to have and now I have a little pressure on the middle of my chest.
Yes, it was stupid considering I don't even know what's going on with my tachycardia and I definitely don't plan on doing it again.
Sorry for writing such a long post. I hope someone has some insight or similar experiences they can share. It would be much appreciated!
