Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. Heavy chest pain and numbness after using meth in the smoked form is a very normal phenomenon, however it is concerning and you might need to visit with and consult a doctor to see if you have any problems with the heart that is irreversible. I advise you to stop smoking meth or go to a clinic that deals with substance abuse and dependence where you will get an evaluation to determine if you need to be seen by a doctor or a psychiatrist who will prescribe the medications for your withdrawals or advise rehab treatment. I believe you have cause to be worried about your medical condition.

I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
