i have been doing cocaine on a daily basis for the past month. I am getting chest pains and excessive sweating under my arms. I know what i am doing is wrong and stupid and i really want to quit. I have been doing coke on a regular basis for the past 5 years but never as much as i have been doing this past month. Anyway could i have done any permanent damage or should i be fine if i dont take again. I.e can something still happen to me after i stop if ive been taking so much?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Cocaine causes sympathetic over stimulation. And this in turn causes tachycardia, chest pain and sweating. So Cocaine indirectly affects heart. So better to quit Cocaine addiction as soon as possible. Enroll in dead diction center for assistance. Get done ECG and 2d echo. If they are normal then no need to worry about permanent damage. But if you continue taking Cocaine, it will definitely damage heart. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
