Hi,

Meth can actually cause heart attacks and it can certainly raise the heart beat dangerously. I would suggest that you consult primary care physician and ask for some tests, at least an electrocardiogram. If you had a minor heart attack, it can be detected by tests. Please keep away from meth.

Best wishes.
