What Causes Side Effects After Meth Smoking?

There is a guy in my building from Turkey and he smoked some meth for the first time. He got really sick, was throwing up and really cold sweats. Oh and he also did poppers for the first time. I have never seen anyone react like this. Is he okay?

Hi
welcome to health care majic
My name is Dr Ehsan
and
I have gone through your query.

There are certain effects of meth on Life style of the Users.
which are basically by interacting via a body's chemical known as Dopamine,
meth increases the body's dopamine level there by leads to certain effects
like
A feeling of well being (Euphoria),
decreased appetite
sleep disturbance
Mood swings
Increased heart rate and blood pressure
tremors and convulsions

you have mentioned that he also did Poppers which means which is also amyl nitrate which causes headaches and burns if spilled on skin.

Some of these adverse changes may get better over time,
but for some users, they may not.

it is best to avoid using it altogether.

hope he recovers from this otherwise seek medical attension by visiting your GP.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
