Suggest Remedy For Pain In Abdomen And Shortness Of Breath After Taking Crystal Meth

I recently had my appendix removed because it ruptured, three days after I get out if the hospital I then had to go back to the hospital due to pain in my side. Turns out it was an infected abses, well I ve been out of the hospital for a week or so now and I ended up trying crystal meth, and I ve already been up for two and half maybe three days now. So all of the sudden I started to fill this sharp pain in the middle of my chest on the right side and I was kinda having stomach pains along with my face feeling hot and chills every once in awhile, well it started getting late and my chest started to fill heavy and I kinda had a shortness of breath and started to fill sharp random pains in my left side ribs and the middle of my right chest on top of that my stomach felt like it had big bubbles moving around in my stomach well the pain in my chest area just kinda disappeared but I still kinda have a shortness of breath.

Hi,

I cannot say in your particular case, but generally, crystal meth can be fatal due to strain on the heart. This is mostly at the time it is first used. and with symptoms that might be heart, an immediate evaluation in the emergency room is necessary.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
