Why Did I Have Breathing Problems With Cough And Vomiting After Taking Meth?

Is this a real thing? Here goes... I did meth last night the first time in years. Now it hurts to breathe in deeply and to cough. I was up all night vomiting, couldn't keep water down, luckily that symptom has improved. Will I survive? Believe me, not doing it again! I'm scared! :-(

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It appears that your body has reacted badly to the introduction of the harmful chemicals present in meth. The discomfort in breathing indicates an inflammatory reaction.

It should go down in a few days provided you do not take meth again. Steam inhalation will help. Since you have been vomiting, it will be better to take some antacids as well.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Preeti Parakh
