Detailed Answer:
HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic. I, Dr Abhishek Kapoor, would help you in this query.

Meth is a psychostimulant and it leads to anxiety symptoms in form of palpitation, chest pain, headache etc. In that case, you should try to benzodiazepine like clonazepam or lorazepam that would help you to control such symptoms. These drugs are not available over the counter, so better to consult a psychiatrist or physician in emergency room for prescription or medications.

In case, you need further help, you can ask.
