High BP, Numbness In Face, Limbs. Had Tinnitus. On Meth. Will Symptoms Relieve If Stopped Using Meth?

Four weeks ago I went to the ER with a BP of 218/136, numbness on left side of face, arm and leg. I also had tinnitus . I had injected meth 2 hours before. I am 51 years old and have hypertension . I still have the numbness and tinnitus, along with a stiff neck . Blood pressure is now under control but I still have the symptoms. Today I noticed that the numbness is on my right side as well. If I stay off meth will these symptoms go away?

Hi there ~

Dealing with dependence on methamphetamines is tough. Going off of those medications of substances can be tougher and it is best to consult a doctor. If you are planning on a quit date, the earlier you see a doctor - an addiction specialist - the better it would be. If you also have additional health problems it may be a good idea to consult a physician in your area. I would also think that you might want to wean yourself off of meth as much as possible.

I hope this helps. Take care and have a nice day !
