Took coke for the first time and chest hurts two days later

Please no judgement as I know there will be some. I'm 25 and I went to clubland over the weekend. I took coke for the first time and was vaping which I don't do either. And my chest has been hurting for two days since and it's really tight and as though I can't get a full breath it's like a panic attack.

Is this normal from this? As everyone else I was with is fine.

Maybe you should go to the dr….

QuestionableMouse · 01/08/2023 20:35

It's the vaping. It's really bad for you. You'll be fine but get checked out at urgent care if you're worried 🙂

BrandonFlowersTurkeyTeeth · 01/08/2023 20:36

It will be from the vaping. Try not to panic, it will soon go.

Timetoflower22 · 01/08/2023 20:37

It'll be the vape not the coke.

bellac11 · 01/08/2023 20:38

You could phone 111 just for advice or see if the practice nurse can see you at your surgery. No one is going to judge, its best to seek advice, you dont know what was in the coke in reality

(I say no one will judge but on this forum,,, be prepared!!!)

evianisyoung · 01/08/2023 20:43

It also sounds like you might be on a slight come down, which can cause the feeling of panic plus the vaping. It’ll go in a few days try not to worry x

Cocaine is one of the commoner causes of heart attacks in young people. Best see a doctor.

NotAHappyBunnyHugger · 01/08/2023 20:44

Go straight to A&E. Cocaine can cause a heart attack, even in young people.

Please ignore anyone telling you not to treat this as an emergency. It's always best to err on the side of caution with chest pain.

Recycledblonde · 01/08/2023 20:47

Cocaine induced MI’s are relatively common in young people and you don’t have to be a regular user. Go to A&E and be honest.

DoughnutDreams · 01/08/2023 20:48

I don't know why people are so sure your symptoms are not a consequence of cocaine use. It causes many cardiovascular events, blood clots, etc.
Neither is good for you, it seems as though you've reached this age being able to enjoy yourself without. It's not worth the risk.

BobbyBleu · 01/08/2023 20:49

As others have said, cocaine can cause chest pains and you should get checked out. I'm sure everything will be fine but best to get checked as it does increase heart rate etc and is linked to heart problems in some people.

It’ll be the vape coke won’t be affecting you 2 days later

Who needs hundreds of hours of medical lectures when Billyhargrovesmullet says you'll be okay...

Show quote history

It can, yes.

isitaline97 · 01/08/2023 20:56

It's more than likely from the vape but do get checked out if your worried, nobody will judge you at all and it's always better to be on the safe side, you could always ring 111 for advice as others have suggested. Take Care and try not to work yourself up into a panic x

bellac11 · 01/08/2023 20:57

Arent the symptoms for women having heart attacks very different to men, its possible she could have sustained chest pain as the only symptom isnt it?

So it could be 2 days later perhaps? (Im not a doctor, my mind went first to the fact that you really just dont know what was in the coke, or possibly the vape)

CattyCattle · 01/08/2023 20:57

It will be the vapes and the come down.

Take some vitamin B, you'll be okay by Thursday mood wise.

Hawkins009 · 01/08/2023 20:58

Hospital

Tilllly · 01/08/2023 20:58

Chest pain = hospital

Don't take a chance with your life

Late presentation (several days after coke use) is not unheard of. It’s uncommon, but certainly not uncommon enough to exclude it as a possibility on here.

Cornettoninja · 01/08/2023 21:00

Jeez, can people stop trying to get another human being to ignore chest pain?

@themambonumber5 you need to attend A&E and let them investigate. It could be something, it could be nothing but without proper tests no one can tell you it’s ok. Best case scenario is that it’s nothing and you’re sent on your way, worst case scenario is that you’re in real trouble and you ignore it.

Cornettoninja · 01/08/2023 21:02

CattyCattle · 01/08/2023 20:57

I would suggest that you never offer medical advice to anyone else. Ever.
