What Causes Breathing Difficulty And Palpitations After Using Meth?

first of all i know it was stupid, i did it cuz i wanna trie everything once good or bad,
Anyway, when i was about 7 i had heart surgery, there was a piece of skin growing, blocking a valve in my heart, so they cut it out, im 17 now, and never had a problem with it since, i recently tried crystal meth, about 2 days ago, anyway, during the comedown i felt as if i couldnt catch my breath, and i felt my heart is beating too fast and to hard, aswell as this lasting pressure on my chest, ive waited and its reduced but it hasnt gotten away, am i just creating a problem cause im worried, or is it something bigger?? help plz

You are either suffering the side effects of this powerful stimulant or you are so concerned about hurting yourself or killing yourself that you are having a panic attack. The symptoms of panic attack are inability to catch breath, rapid heart beat, chest pressure and/or pain, and feeling that you are going to die or may be going mad. You survived this time. Do you want to experience this again or have you learned a valuable lesson and gained wisdom for the future? You decide.
