RCs Heart arrhythmia from methylone?

Heres the direct question, if your interested in how I got there, read on after;

If I experienced heart arrhythmia's/purple knuckles/red blotchy knee's after a methylone/mephedrone combo will I ever be able to do methylone again? I know it's stupid, but after many positive experiences with methylone in the past, and this being my first time with mephedrone combined, I can't help but think the mephedrone is what caused the reaction, especially after everyone elses reports.

I hate that I even bought the stupid ass mephedrone, but curiosity got the best of me as I feared it was my last chance to try lab-grade before the only source was shady street dealers/nothing. I wont be trying mephedrone anymore, even though I got 8g's left, it gettin tossed. Shitty.

Without a doubt I'm going to be waiting awhile and taking a break from everything, but i was just curious that if I try methylone again in a few months, do you think it could trigger a reaction? my girlfriend checked my heartbeat this morning and its back to normal, knuckes/knees have there color back, (expect for two of my knuckles, but they're not bad like yesterday.) and I feel fine, minus the occasion weird heart 'shocky' feeling (only twice today, possibly psychosomatic, as it happens only when I think about it)

It freaked me out yesterday, but I wont lie, I had been pushing myself to almost binge levels in the week prior, experimenting once every few days, on 20 hours of sleep for the whole week (due to my job, not drugs), and hadnt been eating much.

Any comments/advice/help is greatly appreciated. Here's the rest;

Its 11:30pm, I have to go to work in 30min. I do a bomb of 50mg mephedrone, plugged 50mg methylone, then bumped 30mg meph and went to work. Through the rest of the night, i plugged a total of 150mg methylone. Three days before, I had went through 1.5g or crystal mephedrone from 9am to 5am the next day (slap me, I know, stupid).

Once I came down, around 4-5am, I drank a cup of brewed green tea (30mg Caffeine), and took 500mg Vitamin C, B-complex, & 1000mg Vitamin E, and 81mg of aspirin(to help my arteries out a bit).

When I got off work 8am, I went home and started getting ready to go to girlfriends, where I consumed total of 250mg of methylone and 150mg of mephedrone over 4 hours. I started getting chest pain around 2 hours in, but I ignored it as psychosomatic and/or that i usually get slight pains on the come down.

When I checked my heartbeat, the rhythm was all off, and i would get these flutters in it, as well as my heart feeling "light" in my chest, also, my knuckles were turning red/purple after 2 back-to-back cigarettes, and my knees were red and blotchy, if I touched them, they would turn white, and take 5-10 seconds to turn back. Yeah, I was scared shitless.

The off time heartbeat/flutters were confirmed by my girlfriend who could also hear/feel it happening. I immediately stopped doing all substances, including cigarettes, and started reading up. (We are a 2 minute walk from the hospital).

I was experiencing all the symptoms of heart arrhythmia except fainting, and my knuckles and knees were still colored red/purpleish (my knuckles are usually pretty red anyway tho), but other than that I was feeling fine, joking with my girlfriend about dying right then and there, I was worried, but freaking out in those situation never helps. I hadn't eaten much in the past 14 hours, so my girlfriend made my some oddles and noodles.
I had read that heart arrhythmia could be due to electrolyte imbalance, and considering I hadn't eaten or drank much but water, thought I could use a sports drink, so we walked across the street and she got me one (she awesome for putting with my shananigans like this, I know, love her.)

The arrhythmia's lasted all from around 10am-6pm (which is when I went to sleep) and i had called off work. Slept for 16-18 hours (hadnt slept in two days), and here I am, wondering if I should do drugs again. Needless to say, after writing this up, I feel I've answered my own question. But as all psychonauts, give me a few weeks, and the fear I'm sure will be gone.

Comments/concerns/ass-whooping welcome.
 
definitely wait as long as you can abstain, and dont even think about doing any sort of stimulant (even caffeine) until you see a doctor, and have a ecg done. heart problems are some that you really dont want.
 
I don't think having an arrhythmia due to binging on a large amount of stimulants predisposes you to the same thing occurring on safer lower doses unless you have damaged your heart or nervous system in some way. Psychosomatic nervousness will likely play a large part in the future if you are afraid of it happening again, but I don't see why you will suddenly be more susceptible. Then again there could be some mechanism I'm not aware of akin to alcoholics being more likely to suffer from delirium tremors after having had them once.

Checking out any damage to your heart by seeing a doctor is definitely a good call as well.
 
Thanks so much for the quick replies guys, this board is great. I think I'll schedule to have a ECG done like you said, just in case, as knowing how my body is doing will indefinitely help with any future RC experiments(plus i have health insurance, mise well use it).

Another note, I have also never had caffeine in my body while doing stimulants(or almost ever, not a fan), and the night before I drank 4 cups of caffeinated green tea, maybe played a role.

Thanks again, you guys on here are life-savers.
