2c-e and heart/chest pain

This scared me a lot, as I had never experienced it before on previous experiences. 8 +/- 2mg 2c-e.hcl was a fully controllable ++/+++ and there were no negative physical side effects (aside from the slightly queasy comeup). On the comedown which started at T+6h, I had sudden chest pains that seemed to be coming from my heart. I was taking a walk by the way, and had to sit/lie down until it passed, which it did after ~30 mins. What was going on here? It definietely wasn't tachycardia, heart rate was elevated but not crazy. Is this what a heart attack feels like? It was a constricting kind of pain, like stomach cramps but in your heart. It was a really beautiful experience, but this just freaked me out.
 
no way, my state of mind at the time the pain began was far from anxiety of any sort. i don't think the pain was psychological at all, and coinciding with the drug effects wearing off i think some body response was occuring, just like to know what.
 
Did you eat any food during your trip?

I find most 2C-s don't agree with food very well, and can give you bad heartburn.
 
it was your stomach, i am guessing

i would eat something if that happened to me
 
I often get that when I'm walking on 2c's. While acid really opens my lungs up, the 2c's seem to constrict them. I get winded alot easier, and occasionally some mild chestpains. I've found doing some stretches, or forcing yourself to burp as much as possible relieves it pretty quickly.

I agree. I remember 2c-e was the only pea that would kill my stomach. I'd vomit every time and sometimes have acidity.
 
hmmm...perhaps that's it
i had a light meal of fried eggs before, fruits/cereal during, and a modest amount of bread after
 
Sounds like it was heartburn. When it gets severe, it can certainly cause some intense, searing pain. Many of the PEAs seem to cause havoc on the digestive tract.
 
OP, I posted a thread recently about that sensation. I find it is the nature of the beast with 2c-e. Many others have experienced a numbness in the left hand with chest pains where the heart is located in the chest.

I ate 35mg one time and the pains didn't go away for a week. It was scary, but now I am confident that the drug 2c-e is causing this. For that reason, I am highly reluctant to do it again. I did 15mg just last night and the same problems occured for about 8 hours of the trip.

Perhaps someone should bring this to the attention of Erowid or another psychedelic vault.
 
wow. i have been experiencing this kind of chest pain since i took 2ce about 4 days ago, it was the first time i've done it and i've been having terrible anxiety about it ever since, because ive been experiencing a nagging pain in my chest.. its made my anxiety so bad i actually quit smoking (a positive aspect) and havent had a cigarette in over 6 days.. it only becomes unbearable when i smoke weed, which i was afraid i might have to quit.. but how long before you noticed the chest pain go away? its really starting to affect my life in a serious way and i need to know if its something that will dissipate at all...


its kind of ironic, because the experience itself was beautiful beyond words.. needless to say i wont be taking any more 2ce in the future.
 
I usually get that when I take 2C-E. Well, it only lasts as long as the experience if that. It usually just feels like my there is a really heavy, constrictive force on my chest. Usually I like to smoke a lot of shisha and reefer along with 2C-E but this pain makes it really difficult. Actually, I've probably only gotten this about 50% of the time I've used 2C-E.
 
did any of you guys have maoi's or certain types of foods when/before tripping? this would cause chest pain. or maybe it was a hallucination, like sometimes i feel my brain melting/bleeding but its just a hallucination. psycedelics can cause body loads which can be real but also just you think they are happeneing(paranoia). but chest pains sounds more real.
i say it was something you ate or maybe coincedence.
just dont go over the recomemded dose and you should be fine really

I had severe anxiety disorders that have now subsided, but it never gave me a warning sign... I could be driving happily along and then WHAM! chest hurts, heart racing, shallow breathing... panic attacks are more common than you may think
 
2C compounds (2ct2, 2ce, 2cc...) tends to give me pain / pressure in my chest ...
2C compound increase heart rate but I highly doubt this is the reason for this chest pain.
But here are a few toxicity symptoms I often get from 2C compound:

- stomach pain (due to acidity I guess), this could be the explanation for what you feel in your chest.

- it does also affect lungs as my lungs feel like "irritated" while on 2C compounds (some people say it's because it greatly increase mucus)

- unpleasant nerve sensitivity (feeling like my nerves are overelectrified)

- unpleasant muscle tension / cramps.

For all these reasons I stopped using 2C compound.
 
I have had a similar experience but I also was stupid enough to take Viagra at the same time as I took the 2c-e.

Stay away from Viagra and 2c-e, really not a good idea.8(
 
I have had lots of gas/flatulence on 2c-e, 2c-p, and most other psychedelics. The 2c-e/p gas has never caused pain or significant discomfort but while not under the influence of drugs I have had severe stomach and chest pains that were caused by gas and heartburn.

If you use 2c-e again, you might want to take it with some simethicone/gas-x and an antacid. This should prevent or at least decrease the amount of heartburn and/or gas.

About 6 or 8 hours ago I ate 2.5mg of DOC followed by a large dose of poppies about 2 hours after the DOC. Shortly after eating the poppies I started to feel severe pain in my chest and upper stomach. I think it was a combination of gas and heartburn, I took some simethicone and antacid tablets and the pain subsided after 60-90 minutes. I don't know if it was the DOC or poppies that caused it.

I have not experienced any kind of cardiovascular side effects from 2c-e or 2c-p even with high doses. I've had my blood pressure and pulse checked while tripping on both substances and there seemed to be no increase in BP or pulse. Other than gas and nausea, 2c-e and 2c-p are free of any side effects for me. The nausea from 2c-p became quite bad when I took a large dose but with 2c-e and amounts of 2c-p 16mg or less there is just minor nausea.

Dude...i have had the same effects. A while ago me and a friend had tried some 2C-e. he was fine the whole time, but i was having intense chest pains during and for a couple days after. Its been a couple months ago now and the chest pains have gone away..but when i smoke weed my heart rate increases and i get chest pains until i come down. I've realized that this may be anxiety or panic attacks...but god damn i'm pissed that i can't smoke weed like i used to. :(
