What Causes Swollen Arms And Mild Headache After A Methamphetamine Shot?

I injected meth in left are with no complications. After a few minutes both arms, my abdomen down to thighs started to get swollen and squishy like I was retaining fluid. Injection site is 100% ok. Just the usual small red dots where needle went in. I have some random pains all over. No pain is super intense, I got dizzy only once when I stood up quickly when I had been laying down for over an hour. I slept over 8 hours in the last 24hrs. And have eaten 3 times in the last 48 hours. (No fatty, greasy, sugary Foods.) I have an on and off low-key headache. And my feet &I hands are cold but not numb really, maybe the tinest bit nimb on left big toe. This is also because it s very cold where I live and I have no heater. Skin is a bit blotchy in some areas and I m tired. Advice? Swollen arms and abdomen has happened before but usually only arms when I shoot in right arm. This is first time it happens when doing left and also I feel the worst now.

Hi,

After going through your query, it looks that after methamphetamine shot you have a reaction. But usually, methamphetamine causes constipation, change in blood pressure, vision blurred etc. But you are experiencing may be due to anxiety. You can take tab. cetirizine. Also, if it persists consult a physician.

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

Take care

Regards,
