Oh hey Ben, how are you?
I can't figure out where to ask this, sorry...has anyone had heart problems after using lots of stims for a while? I binged a bit last week and in the past couple of days I've had a lot of trouble breathing and my heart really hurts. Also I can't go up a couple stairs without my chest feeling completely compressed. This has literally never happened before and I'm getting a bit worried. I dunno if I should wait a bit more and see if it passes or if I should go to the ER?
(oh yeah and I've been completely sober for about 30 hours)
Yeah I feel really on edge. My pulse is at about 110 bpm even though it's usually around 60, and I've just been sitting at a desk all day

I'll take a benzo and see if I can get an appointment for tomorrow or something. Thanks
many of the physical symptopms are symptoms of anxiety, being anxious and keep checking your pule will increase your anxiety, and also your pulse. After giving up coke after 5-7 years or so pretty much daily use I kept going to the docs with tremors, racing heart, dead limbs, vertigo....all sorts, he kept trying to tell me it was about anxiety, BUT I "KNEW" it was down to stim damage. turned out the doc was right.
I would advise taking the benzo and try and chill out for an hour. If there's no shift downwards in bpm maybe try and get an appointment today? I'm not trying to freak you out; this was just the advice I was given the other day when in hospital my pulse went haywire.
if she keeps checking her pulse and worrying about what it might be, her pulse will stay high. 110bpm is no danger for someone of Pagey's age.
I just wouldn't ever mention drug use in this situation. Anything can cause Pagey's symptoms
Agreed. My GP was always very good and never put anything about my drug use in my records. However I was refused life insurance a few years ago, because I had once been sent to A&E by my GP after a speed session (nothing to do with heart/panic, a suspected torsion of the testicle 8( ), anyway, once i'd been admitted i mentioned to the duty consultant that i'd taken speed a couple of days previous. this went on my records.
I think GP's use their discretion to an extent. hospitals are bound to report everything.
Well, mixing cocaine with aMT is definitely quite dangerous and I think it puts a *lot* of strain on the heart but I only used the aMT two days after the coke so I don't see how they could have interfered. What's a little weird is xanax isn't helping for some reason
No, I'm in Paris right now. They're generally pretty cool when it comes to drugs here but yeah, I'm not sure...I know I'm completely dehydrated and I haven't really eaten in two days either so I guess everything is just contributing. But I'm forcing myself to eat and drink and stuff today. Anyway I'm very happy I posted on here as I was getting quite worried on my own but sounds like it's nothing to panic about at all
Your eating and drinking will be affecting you, affecting your blood pressure, giving you heasrt flutters, making you more edgy. Eat, and drink, and try to stop worrying. Take another xanax if need be, it won't do any harm.
yeah. ive had the purple knees and all that. meph is much worse in terms of vasoconstriction.
lies all lies. I find coke far worse for vasoconstriction.
lolololol.
Missus having a fit.
ITV have made a cock up showing Coronation Street. lol.
Or shes just going mad. idk.
yeah the fucking apprentice has been put back to 10.30 so the bbc can show some sycophantic shite about andy murray.
Evening all by the way. :D
