Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Substance abuse, including methamphetamine use, can have various effects on the body, and it's possible that your symptoms could be related to your drug use. Methamphetamine can cause vasoconstriction, which is the narrowing of blood vessels, leading to decreased blood flow to certain areas of the body. This could potentially explain the cold sensation and swelling you're experiencing.
Additionally, drug use can also impact the cardiovascular system, leading to changes in blood pressure, heart rate, and fluid balance, which could contribute to the symptoms you described.
Do I would suggest you to stop meth slowly, with the help of your local drug rehabilitation center.
I Hope Your Query is clear now.
Thank You
