Slower heart rate after injecting meth?

Hello! Sorry if this post is in the wrong thread, I've only posted a couple times.. Please move it to the correct one if it isn't, thanks!

Anywaaays, recently I have turned to the needle as my ROA of choice for meth. I love the rush and being able to get high without the constant desire to redose with smoking.

I have been using for 5+ months, binging for 2-3 days every week and resting the rest of the week, with exceptions of course.

The other day however, I decided to just get ridiculously spun with a few friends. After my third shot within 4 hours and by far the biggest, I instantly felt the rush, a wave of hot energy going from my heart, to my throat and ending up at the top of my head with goosebumps going all throughout my body. 15 or so minutes after I decided to check my heart rate, only to find it was slow as all hell.. For someone that just shot a couple points of meth that is!

I used a stop watch and counted it to be at around 72 BPM. But when I was up, walking around, smoking a cigarette, whatever it may be! As long as I was standing up my heart rate was racing at about 170 BPM.. I didn't notice it until I focused on it however, and the fact that my jacket was moving from how fast it was going made it difficult not to..

Could it be tolerance? I'm extremely confused here.. Never shot this much in a day before and I could tell this batch was more potent than usual. Sorry about the excessive detail, as I am still quite spun.. Any info would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!
 
I get the harm reduction strategy of checking heart rate etc in the middle of a session,but for me that sounds like a recipe for disaster and anxiety.

Drugs will mess w your heart rate,either elevating it or slowing it down,and by focusing on it wont make it any better.
Did you feel something unpleasant when you checked it,or was it just curiosity/random?
If thats so,could it be psychological reasons,like you got anxious and your body started reacting?
 
I noticed while standing I had trouble catching my breath.. Like I had been sprinting. I decided to check my heart rate and yeahhh here we are!
But it doesn't scare me, I've gotten used to the elevated heart rate, it's just the constant lightheaded feeling is getting annoying. I've almost fallen over a few times due to it..
As for the really slow heartrate I can't explain it.
This annoying problem only started happening with IV use. Anyother route and I seem to feel fine
