What Causes Fast Heart Rate, High Bp And Tingling In Head?

I went to the emergency room right now because I had gone to a party the night before and around 3 AM I started feeling like my head was tingling, and then by 10 AM it spread down my arms. I had also been unable to sleep. I looked up my symptoms and it said crystal meth and that s when I went to the ER because I was sure I had been drugged. My heart rate was really fast, my blood pressure was really high, and I had a fever. They took tests and it came back positive. I went home and now my chest and upper back hurts so bad. I was wondering why this is happening and is it something to worry about? Also, how long do I have to go through this?

Hello!

Welcome on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms seem to be typical of meth intoxication.

But, you should just be patient, because your situation will improve spontaneously in the next days.

I would just recommend taking plenty of water and avoid caffeine intake. Acetaminophen can help for the pain.

Hope to have been helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
