Cocaine Shooting coke - vitals - when should I be alarmed?

[Cocomor]

I got bad into it a few months ago when I had a virtually unlimited supply, so I would go all day everyday. Eventually it stopped becoming that enjoyable, and I actually lowered my dose over time since I was getting so paranoid. Never did crazy shots like some people here, .125 at the max.

ANYWAYS, after not doing it for awhile, today I decided to get a little bag, as a treat and started off with some fairly low doses, like .50-.80 but my little wrist BP monitor gave me some pretty alarming readings, 133/87 127bpm, all the way up to 171/105 152bpm, 152/103 139bpm all with the arrhythmia indicator. It freaked me out enough to get an EKG but by then it was settled down and nothing came up. After taking some benzos, that helped quite a bit.

My quesiton to the OGs is, are those number through the roof or sort of what would you expect?

btw i know shooting coke is extremely dangerous and never a good idea

I remember the only time I got anything close to "Good" coke ( I wont guess at the purity ) but I snorted a quarter gram end (Sorry TMI) ended up naked in my own living room with a 140 BPM sincerely concerned. This is back in the late 90s and (Not that it matters) came from some old dude who knew his shit.

After that I had friends that wanted to be "Hustlers" or whatever that would hypothetically get a couple zips at least at a time direct from metro --- blew my mind how shitty what they were getting was; at that volume and price, DAMN.

So other than saying the quality of cocaine has obviously went down on the whole since idk about the 60s-70s and only gets worse --- I could theorize you got some extra good shit ( Sounds like you have been around the block and had 'good shit though ) -- Perhaps your tolerance was a bit lower from not using --- Or perhaps there was some kind of cut in there that shot your BP/heart rate up.

None of us can really tell you with any certainty what happened or what was in there --- but those are some options: based on you having the rest of the context that may help to narrow it down.

Previously I had been sticking to my own personal stash which was real solid, and only going through this girl in a pinch. Hers was still decent, but this time it's definitely a little different. Can't quite place my finger on the smell but it's not the typical gassy odor which I know and love plus the powder is every so slightly "gritty" almost. Idk it's definitely cocaine but you're probably onto something with the cut potentially playing a part.

Also I've always been on benzos when I would do it before. My main question though is if others have experienced symptoms like that before on coke or other stimulants

Yes.

I would only do cocaine if I had an ample amount of benzo's on hand -- even if it were free (Probably lol).

Speedballs were scary but fun -- IV coke past the rush idk not for me.

That does make alot of sense! "Don't go up without landing gear" was the old saying -- when I was on a ton of benzos I could tolerate and semi enjoy amps/coke. Now I really doubt it

Worst drug you can shoot. Narcan wont save you. I wont even begin to try and give any advice but to stop because it WILL stop you. I wish you the best, stay with us brother.

^ This. I have never seen this road end well.

IV coke or Meth -- really smoked meth or crack or w/e same

I just did one and I to watch my BP. Two minutes ago it was 183/125. That’s not the highest I’ve seen on myself but it is the official danger zone. 180/120 is the high stroke possibility levels. And you are very right. You do it it feels good. Not even great. That’s what gets me is I’ve had better highs. But I like body altering drugs. Shooting meth is my fav but I do dumb shit on meth. I do coke occasionally but I monitor myself. I too did one that I couldn’t walk and my vision was blurring.

I know drugs are bad so save your breath. I work pay my bills and earn the money I spend. Don’t worry what my guilty pleasures are. My advice is if you’re gonna do it be careful and mindful. My normal BP is anywhere from 140/90to 150/100. That’s not life threatening but on the higher end. Which number is more important depends on your age. If you under 50 you wanna keep that bottom number down. Over 50 keep the top number down. Take care.

^Noones lecturing you -- just a general disclaimer. You ever try a nectar collectar with foilies or crack? ( I havent found anyone that has but I am almost SURE it would be VERY EFFICIENT ) -- Risk the 5 rock for me! lol

I know snorting coke my heartrate hit 140 once and I ended up naked in my parents bathroom at like 16 throwin cold water all over myself.

Harm reduction is the goal not stopping you from doing what you enjoy! You filtering well and using proper injection technique? Coke is fairly corrosive to the veins (and heart) and the amount of shots to make it through a day (if you an addict) becomes unsustainable....

You seem to have a good handle on what you are doing --- but how much of a handle anyone got on IV cocaine? Just be careful, there is no narcan for coke. If it were my jam Id keep plenty of fast acting sedatives around but that could further muddy the issue if not well calculated and executed.
