Brief Answer:
Side effects of cocaine!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Cocaine causes the heart vessels to constrict and excites the body. This is why cocaine ingestion can cause heart attack. These symptoms are suggestive of cocaine intoxication ad i strongly recommend you stop consuming cocaine. You risk having a heart attack as a consequence of taking cocaine.

I hope this helps and guides. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
