Stimulants Over-Amp or small heart attack?

[Renz Envy]

Yesterday I consumed around a .075g dose of methamphetamine vaporizing. Everything was running smooth and fine until I had to go to work. My resting heart rate was around 108-113, I did not worry too much. That was until I was forced to race somebody in a swimming pool.

After the race my heart felt like it would not slow down. My chest felt so tight, I had difficulty breathing. I could not stop shaking. Overall I had a feeling of weakness to my body. Nothing would slow my heart down. It continued to beat out of my chest at about 150BPM for 30 minutes and would not calm down. My blood pressure was also sky-high. My temperature soon dropped down near hypothermia where I shook uncontrollably and was unable to get warm without a pile of blankets.

I wanted to go to a hospital bluelight, but I did not feel like I was in any extreme, debilitating pain. Not to mention I've been to a hospital for over-amping and had an x-ray and an EKG run proving I have no issues. On top of that the factors of me being in the hospital detract me as the staff usually treats me poorly. I did not want to reveal what had caused this scenario.

I grabbed an aspirin and took 2mg of klonazepam. Immediately I felt the symptoms begin to subside. The tatchycardia was still there, but it was now down to a much safer 120-125BPM. Blood pressure dropped dramatically. My chest pain went away quite quickly and I was able to fall asleep.

Today my blood pressure is normal, however my heart rate is still a high resting 100bpm.

This is from less than 1mg of methamphetamine??

that happened to you on .075mg? lol im on over 20 times that dose right now, and im actually kinda dissapointed with the high, and i thought the threshold was at least 5mg for nontolerant users. and thats probably over-amp, which can seem like (and also cause) heart attacks, although you say that you didn't experience any actual pain so i doubt that it was a heart attack, you almost always get heavy chest pains with heart attacks.

I'm pretty sure he meant 75mg, which is a high dose if pure. 75ug dose is in LSD and few other psychs territory, not a slightest chance it would do anything, threshold effects are always cited at 5mg...

Usually when you have a heart attack, you'll know. Shooting pains down your left arm, an overwhelming sense of foreboding/anxiety, palpitations, and the feeling that you cannot breathe.

I had all of those except the shooting pains down my arm, but rather than a "stinging pain" it was more like a sudden weakness in my left arm that was uncomfortable. It's hard to explain the feeling. It would only happen when I became active/ stand up.

The chills and hypothermia are what I do not understand.

LSD threshold is 20ug, and Alprazolam is .25mg, MPH is 2.5, and so, no not all threshold doses are cited as 5mg. in fact i've never seen another 5mg threshold citation besides meth, dextroamphetamine, and the other close cousins to the sore amphetamines.

Go to the doctor, find out if you suffered a minor heart attack. Better safe than sorry, I am not a doctor but that is a serious symptom. Get it checked.
