What Causes Pain In Chest, Back, Neck And Abdomen While Slamming Meth?

Unbearable chest, back, side, neck and abdomin pains while slamming meth.



Hi, im a 20 yr old female. 170lbs. taking no medication. I smoked meth constant for about a year before i started slamming it, but never had theses pains or type of side effects before. Been slamming three to six times daily for about four or five months. Giving myself a day or two break inbetweeen a week or so long binge. Now whenever i slam even small doses i get unbelieveably painful chest pains and pressure thats constanlty there, trouble breathing, stabbing pains in my lower stomach and sides and neck. Not to mention the crazy like growing pain type things i get in random spots in my body that come and go. legs giving out. shakes, weird throat mucus, dizzyness, and all that. my question is how serious is this and to be honest i dont plan on quitting any time soon, so if i just slow down with my usage will these problems go away on their own?

It's quite damaging. Quite likely the pain represents heart trouble or a really severe lung problem (bad asthma).

If someone is an addict they cannot use what they are addicted to normally. They may plan to cut down, but they will have discontrol.

Rehab, 12 step programs and totally not taking it would be the reasonable course when it's pretty obvious something quite bad is happening.
Furthermore, meth does a significant amount of permanent brain damage.
