ive only smoked crack about 3 times but today i have smoked about a 0.5 since 5 pm and its now 1 am ..i still have about a .2 left but ever after waiting an hour my heart rate was still pounding around 120 to 140 even when i didnt take a hit for an hour ... i also took to mgs of clonzepam to ...is this normal?? i take hbp meds to at the age of 23 if a hit only last 5-10 min shouldnt my heart rate go down after that?? i dont really take big hits
 
It should peak for a few minutes, then go down noticeably.

If it stays high to the point that you feel it pounding on and on, don't take another toke before it goes down. Tingly hands are normal when you have no tolerance to crack. Wait, you say you take blood pressure meds? Which ones? Some of them are a no-no with coke.
 
Yeah shouldnt be this long. You may be having an anxiety attack or arhythemia. Tell us if it dosent slow down...
 
Lisinopril is not listed as dangerous in combination with coke (unlike beta-blockers).

What I suspect is happening in your case is this: the Lisinopril is compensating the hypertensive effect of the coke in some way (maybe by vasodilation), and as a result you have tachychardia. Now tachychardia is better than a hypertension-induced stroke of course, so you shouldn't blame the Lisinopril. But it shows you can't have the best of both worlds with coke and blood pressure drugs. Next time take a lower dose of Lisinopril to see if it helps. On the other hand, you must ask yourself if coke is the drug for you given that you have a history of blood pressure problems (otherwise you wouldn't be on Lisinopril).

In another post I told about the day when I took phentolamine (a hypotensive alpha-blocker) when hitting the pipe. God how my heart raced that time! And when I stopped smoking it didn't get better before quite a long time (over an hour). I sat there, not taking any more tokes, and bom-bom-bom went my heart with a vengence.

thanks man trust me coke is not my doc .. i addicted to opiate and couldnt find and so i took a hafe of a suboxone when i woke up.. i just took another 0.5 of xannax .. but it dose seem like my heart will slow down then speed up faster .. and i will start sweating out of no ware then then ill stop sweating ..and like the idiot i am i just took another hit 15 min ago
 
it's possible the suboxone may not be holding your opiate tolerance well enough, exacerbating your blood pressure upon the coke. try upping your sub by another 0.5mg and maybe take another half mg of xanax in the mean time.

are you properly hydrated? make sure you're hydrated too.

good looks on checking that out.

OP - put the crack away - it's only going to continue to make you feel like shit, especially if it is opiate wd's you're feeling on top of the high BP. you already know you shouldn't still be hitting that shit
