Suggest Treatment For Rapid Heart Rate

I took an illicit substance. A stimulant. And my heart rate is around 120-130 beats per minute. Is this dangerous? Or will I be okay and am i panicking for no reason? I do realize the risks and am aware of the affects of using these substances and do not intend to do so again in the future given this experience. Please answer FAST! I am concerned.

Hi there. You should be concerned. The high heart rate is quite dangerous. I do not know your age. If its higher your risk is higher. Do you have any other symptoms like sweating etc. What did you take? Its good to know since you may need an antidote. Please see a doctor at once. Take care.
