What Is The Life Expectancy Of A Cocaine Smoker Having Charlie Horses?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. As per my clinical experience, the Charlie horses do not alter life expectancy. Yes, cocaine consumption affects at multiple levels of heart, kidney and other body organs, which can lessen the life expectancy. But again no prediction can be made from this ground as per her lifespan. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Purva Patel
