Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
Coccaine and MDMA are substance abuse drugs.
These drugs can cause sympathetic stimulation and this in turn causes rapid heart rate and palpitations.
Stress and anxiety can further worsen this.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Get done Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of Ecg) to rule out heart damage by these drugs.
If Holter is normal then no need to worry much.
You can take propranolol (beta blocker). This will reduce palpitations and also helps in anxiety.
Better not to take such drugs again.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
