So last night did about 150-200mg of sum good coke and freaked out a little bit, i just started pacing around the room for about 30min. Then i started to have problems breathing, i feel like i have to take deap breaths nonstop and if i start moving around too much i feel like i am bout to have an asthma attack (yes i do have asthma). this was last night and i still cant breath well and movement is still limited because of this. An suggestions besides going to the doctor would be helpful.
 
No need for a doctor I think. I would guess that the coke was cut with something that heated your lungs (coke also does this by itself). When your lungs get heated, you might feel like you can't get no air, even though you acctually do.

Happens all the time on stimulants and more so even on tryptamines like LSD.
 
How long do you think this is going to last for and is there anything i can do about this.
 
It's most likely a panic attack which is why i hate cocaine. Sometimes during my high i'll have the symptoms you mentioned but you should be fine dude. Thats the thing i hate about cocaine you dont know if your just panicking or if your in real danger and dosed too high.. Stay away from the white it is a total shit drug.
 
I love snow dude and I don't think you should quit it all together unless you notice you get that all the time and progresses.

If you can try to find a more pure batch and see if that makes any difference. I dont really get any of those symptoms when I snort some excellent high grade shit. Unless Im dancing my ass off or doing laps on it or something lol
 
sounds like a panic attack man, the feeling of labored breathing is a symptom of panic attack as well as feeling that something bad is going to happen (asthma)

I used to get these even with weed the first time I smoked
 
Yea the thing is with weed many people get panic attacks no biggie.. your just scared shitless. With a strong stimulant like cocaine you could do like 3 lines in a row and start to feel like your running out of breath and your heart is racing very fast. At this point you can't really tell if your just panicking or if your in real danger which brings me to my next point, Cocaine is garbage.
 
Yup man, the human mind is more powerful than you think dude... Once you convince yourself that something bad is happening, your nervous system takes over and every feeling you get
(flipping out, slow or fast breathing, fast heart rate, blood pressure etc)
actually happens to save your life, your mind is being tricked into believing that your life is in danger, its protecting you from harm man.

but sometimes it gets too overboard and you start to fear, FEAR, itself and then youre full of adrenaline that you think your going insane or losing your mind...

that was one of the worst experiences of my life man, id rather get a boner infront of a stage like back in middle school EVERY day than experience another panic attack.
 
Coke is retarded imo. Your heart races super fast as you sit in a chair after several lines. You get jittery & nervous & then sometimes like you guys have mentioned, the anxiety attacks come, um....no thanks!
