What Causes A Tight Pain In The Chest After Taking MDMA Pill?
Hi, On Saturday night around 11.30pm I took an MDMA pill. I found it incredibly difficult to sleep and felt very anxious. On Sunday morning I eventually got some sleep and felt better I just had slight stomach pains. This morning (Monday), I woke up with a tight pain in my chest and the feeling on queasiness. What does this mean? Will I be ok? I don t plan on taking drugs again after this experience as it has really scared me. What should I do?

Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
MDMA is sympathomimetic drug and can damage heart and blood vessels.
After its ingestion, there is sympathetic overactivity in the body, which causes high pulse rate (tachycardia), high blood pressure, sneezing of chest, high chest pressure etc.
Its effect lasts for 24 hours.
I advice you to get done ECG to rule out cardiac damage.
If ECG is normal than no need to worry much.
But avoid such things in future as it is not a good habit.
