Hi all don't wer to start so I'll give u a bit of background info. I'm 22 year old male from uk pretty fit and athletic, although my diet varies between s good diet and a bad one. Drink regularly usually a Saturday night usually 3 times amonth wer I binge heavily on all sorts of spirits and shots, When out in the town. i have used cocaine not heavily and not that frequently less than once a month over a 2 year period. I have now given up both drinking going on two weeks now and drugs going on 2 months. Also in september i went on holiday (Ibiza) for a week where i drank no stop for a week and used ecstacy 1or. 2 times first and last time id ever do this also had very little sleep. When i came back from holiday i felt dizzy so went to the drs and told them about the drink and drugs on holiday and my symptoms bp and heart rate wer taking and they said dont drink for 2 weeks, so i never and the symptoms went. But during this time I felt like was shaking as I went to sleep haven't experienced it since. hen my problems really started last month (november) when I was eating my dinner I experienced a thud in my chest it continued through the night so I went to the hospital the next day had ECG done and blood tests ended up being diagnosed with ectopic beat by a junior dr who referred me to the cardiologist in the hospital I had further ECG and blood test again along with chest x ray all came back fine andHelp needed ASAP please

I have now given up both drinking going on two weeks now and drugs going on 2 months. Also in september i went on holiday for a week where i drank no stop for a week and used ecstacy 1 time. Felt a sudden rush of it and felt like throwing up got real anxious but the severe effects wore off in 40 min and I just danced all night after that no comedown just had dilated pupils for the next 11 hours or so firstvand last time id ever do this also had very little sleep. When i came back from holiday i felt dizzy so went to the drs and told them about the drink and drugs on holiday and my symptoms bp and heart rate wer taking and they said dont drink for 2 weeks, so i never and the symptoms went.

I was asked about my lifestyle and I told them but I didn't mention the drugs or holiday.I didn't think they would have any effect as last time used cocaine was 4/5 weeks before I experienced these ectopic beats. I still get them in runs they get bad for a couple of days then cease or at least I dont notice them. I still also get symptoms of heaviness around my heart generally after I ate so possibly gas related? Also sometimes get a gurgling sensatins around my heart. Also i get sharp shooting pains in the centreof my chest just to the left of my breat bone, I have know idea why these are happening please help I'm really scared. Should I go back to hospital. They seem to think I'm fine ive been seen by 4 drs 3 junior and 1 cardiologist also say the same thing and sEem a bit mad I keep going to a and e with it. They said its anxiety related and any further problem to see my go at the local dr surgery.

sharp pains in your chest leads me to believe it is not simply anxiety. also don't lie to your doctors about your drug use if you want them to provide the full care they are capable of
 
Could it be ecstacy related? So scared do x side effects happen 8 weeks later what can be done
 
Not trying to alarm you, but I would get this looked at as soon as possible. It's well known that ecstacy can be cut with cardiotoxic stims like PMA, and it's better that you know what your condition is now before it causes a serious problem. Also, the difference in pupil size could be an indicator a neurological problem, although only a doctor would be able to make that judgement.

My advice is to get it looked at soon, and when you do, be honest about your drug use with your physician, as suggested above. You're in the UK, and as I understand it they cannot refuse to treat you by dropping you as they might in the dear old US of A :p
 
Thanks for the advice I had thorough heart lung and cardio check with multiple blood tests x rays and electrocardiograms done. Cardiologist said what i have is very common its called ectopic beat / pvc. The dr asked about drugs and said cocaine can cause it. My symptoms appeared 8 weeks after ecstacy and 5 weeks after cocaine my anxiety has increased dramatically since then and it's only this week the 13 th week I haven't been able to sleep after coming off night shift last week. When I first came from ibiza I went to the drs and told them about the x the woman was like it isn't really a issue u don't want that on your medical record

The ectopic beats is just an extra beat of the heart and can be caused by stimulants sush as adrenal cough medicine alcohol cocaine or can occur naturally it said everyone has them. I was just wondering could ecstacy linger on without symptoms for so long

Could something be slowly shutting my body down

No chemical would have such a long half-life, if that's what you're asking. As far as "shutting your body down", nothing from the ecstasy you took should be having that effect. You may have triggered some long-term arythmmia from a bad pill, but whatever damage has been done (if any) should not be increasing. You should also consider that anxiety may be a factor in how you perceive your symptoms, although they definitely are not caused by anxiety. Wiki says that these symptoms may be worsened during periods of "stress or debility" which could apply to your situation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ectopic_beat

Does you family have a history of heart disorders? That may have something to do with it
 
2 of my aunts blood related have heart problem due to old age and the diet. The ectopic beat has defiantly improved greatly and is less frequent than what is was even wore a heart monitor for 24 hours which was then studied and single ectopic beat was the diagnosis. 4 days in the
Lead up to it I had chest virus took cough medicine with a side effect being arrhythmia dr reckons its a combo
Of these. So if ecstacy has short half life what I'm experiencing now ie trouble sleeping 13 weeks later and arrhythmia 8 weeks later won't b caused by the tablet. All my friends 8 of
Them all took the same pill and consumed more than me and ther all fine
 
So what happened?

Are you better now? Hospital? Please update. I hope you sought medical attention if it was warranted, and I hope you are all right.
 
Thanks for your concern and happy new years to you all. I havent seeked medical attention to be honest I feel fine. Only problems I have are ectopic beat which is get less frequent, and been fully investigated about 5 times in as many weeks and is deemed to be benigh. I am suffering from anxiety though have done since I come back from holiday, only to be heightened by ectopic beat. The main issue I have now is my lack of sleep I've struggled since boxing day with it having less than 4 hours a night. I finished night shift on Xmas eve which I had done for 3 weeks usually work days it could be that Or is it the ecstacy? I slept fine until Monday (13 weeks since i took x) when I tried to get regular sleep pattern back

Man that's crazy. It could be the drugs that caused the lack of sleep, or something else completely. What's strange though is the same thing happened to me, yet I've been clean the whole time aside from a little drinking. What a strange coincidence, the last entire week I haven't slept either :| wtf? It's been exactly a week for me too! 4 hours each night!

Odd..
 
I think I'll go the docs this week and admits my stupid misymtakes of taking drugs is ther any specific tests to check for ecstacy damage to the brain ie serotonin problems etc. and if ther is damage is there ability for the brain to recover? Also any tests that can be performed to see toxic chemicals in blood
 
Based off of some research that I have done and on what I experienced, it sounds very likely like you suffered/suffering from serotonin syndrome.

The only thing you can do is start eating a good diet and exercise daily. It may take time to recover, but there's not really a whole lot a doctor will do to help. All they can do is check for other problems, perhaps an infection or something else unrelated to the drug abuse. Any neurological damage from MDMA is going to have to heal on it's own with time eating healthy/drinking plenty of fluids/daily exercise. Go outside in the daytime also. You don't need to be in direct sunlight, but in the shade is fine, this stimulates serotonin production and helps the brain recover. Your eyes can absorb what light you need just from being outside during the day.

Good luck! I would get checked out by the doctor also just to be safe. But they can't perform any miracles or prescribe any drugs to treat a serotonin problem, aside from SSRI's which could actually make things worse IMO.
