Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

The effects of Ecstasy are sometimes similar to the use of amphetamines and cocaine and these include increases in heart rate and blood pressure, nausea, blurred vision, faintness, chills, sweating and shortness of breath. Alcohol when consumed for a long period of time can also cause shortness of breath, enlarged heart and abnormal heart rhythm.

These side effects are likely to subside in a few days but you should not use ecstasy or take any alcohol during this time. Eat healthy, nutritious food and do mild exercises like walking or cycling everyday. Also do not consume alcohol or any form of other drugs during this time and the symptoms will subside. You do not have to worry about them as they will disappear with good diet and exercise. If you take alcohol on regular basis, then you should decrease it gradually because shortness of breath is a likely side effect of alcohol consumption also.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Hello,

Thanks for writing back. It is advisable to start with mild to moderate exercises first and then move over to strenuous work out routine once the symptoms of shortness of breath completely subside.

Also try making some lifestyle changes. You can share your worries or stress with your family and friends and they can help you out by giving valid reasons or solutions. Also start doing yoga or meditation exercises which help in having a calming effect on the mind.
