What Causes Sharp Pain On The Chest After Smoking Meth?
I smoked some meth 2 days ago and this morning I had this sharp pain my left side of my chest and back when I breathe its really bother some and I went to the e.r. cause I couldn t breathe but the discharged me like in 2 hours they said it was nothing but it really hurts
I expect the doctors at the ER examined you and could not not find any cause to worry and so, they discharged you. In that case, the most likely cause for your problem is muscle soreness, which is common in meth users. The muscles in the rib cage, which contract and relax during breathing are causing the pain. You will find that local application of analgesicointments helps. Warm compress may also help.
Best wishes.
