What's up BL, 3 days ago I was did some speed about .5 of good quality & I smoked a .1 of H. Suddenly my heart started fluttering like crazy and I could barely breathe, anyway I called 911 and the EMTs said my heart was going from 80 to 170-180bpm and said I had VT. Long story short, went to ICU and stabilized with no damage done, my question is is VT common in speed use? Sounds obvious it probably is but I'm 20 yrs old with no history of heart problems though I've ODd on meth once prior as I've been doing meth for 3 years now pretty often. Didn't get a lot of info on the situation, I don't know if it was because I dosed so high on amphetamine alone or cause I mixed uppers and downers etc.

I know I can't get a definite answer on if it could happen again or how likely but I did dose some speed about a .3 this morning (stupid I know) and coming down I have heart palpitations which I normally do when I come down. But also I have slight chest discomfort but my hearts not going insane fluttering like it was then so I think I'm fine aside from suffering from your common amphetamine comedown.

Being so young is it rare that I experienced VT that day with no prior history of any marjor cardiovascular issues? Just curious about it, I'm gonna back on my usage forsure regardless as this is the 3-4x I've had to go to ICU due to problems regarding my meth usage. Anyway all opinions welcome just trying to gain insight on the situation thanks guys.
 
that shit can definitely happen to people, man, and it does all the time...it's probably best for you to lay off everything for a good long while...I had one episode off of 200 mg of Adderall at 22 a year and a half ago and it scared me off of amps forever
