Has anyone else experienced this frightening sensation?
I used to abuse my body with heavy rolls back in 2007-2008 than quit and got myself together, started University etc. However, the past year or so I entered the club scene and started using pure MDMA rather than sketchy rolls but not abusing it to the point I was back in 2007.
In mid August I ended up swallowing 2 flips that caused my heart rate to drastically speed up and create panic within my mind. I had no control over my heart rate it skyrocketed above normal even considering the MDMA use. I recovered from this but ever since then my heart hasn't felt quite right.. I brushed this off and 3-4 weeks later an old friend came down and we went to the club and I was stupid enough to indulge in some MDMA. This ofcourse sent my heart rate skyrocketing again except this time I started getting a light tightness/squeeze in my chest and my heart felt like it was either skipping beats or beating prematurely. That night I thought forsure I was having a heart attack.
I survived that experience and have laid off drugs since, however my heart feels out of sync. Now I experience these palpitations whilst sober. I have quit drinking and smoking cigarettes/weed but I still experience "panic" attacks where my heart feels as if it skips a beat and than speeds up to an uncomfortable rate.
This has really taken a toll on my normal routine and life to the point where I'm scared to go out!
I've gone to the doctors and had an EKG performed which revealed that I have not had a heart attack or heart failure, which is reassuring but I still feel scared. I'm in the process of getting an ECG (echo cardio gram) performed aswell as wearing a holton monitor for 48 hours to see if there might be any problems with the valves around my heart.
This is a major concern for me as I'm only 21 and don't want my life to end short because of my immaturity and disregard for my body and health!
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? And if so, how did you work through it? Was it anxiety or a heart defect? Is it possible I brought something on earlier in life due to my tangle with drugs?
I hope people realize the consequences drugs may have on your body if your not aware of your family history! You never know how a foreign substance will effect the body/mind and everyone is different! Please people, take caution in your use of MDMA/Ecstasy, I know I wish I never touched the drug!
