How Does Cocaine Stop Your Heart Cocaine is a highly psychoactive stimulant that increases the levels of your alertness, awareness, and energy. It can come in various forms such as in a fine, white powder or in a solid rock crystal. It pumps adrenaline all throughout the body, the same way how the body reacts when you are in an alarming and terrifying situation. This rush causes an increase in heart rate and an elevation in your blood pressure. The irregularity in the blood circulation and heartbeat is the reason why an individual who uses cocaine suffers chest pain.
The stimulation cause by injecting or smoking cocaine will cause unstable heart rythms which are known as ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia.
Cocaine or crack is known by doctors as the perfect heart attack drug.
Your heart arteries can suddenly collapse and you will have a heart attack.
If for instance, by the grace of God, you collapse on your cousins front porch and he is home when normally he would be at work you can receive the benefit of his calling 911.
When the ambulance picks you up and they start working on you and find your heart stops a couple of times, they will give you medicine to start your heart again.
If your heart is in ventricular fibrillation they will shock your heart back into a more normal rhythm if possible.
When you get to the hospial you could need stents put into your heart arteries if they have collapsed because of your cocaine habit.
When you wake up the doctor and nurses will warn you that JUST ONE MORE use of cocaine will KILL you will you quit smoking, snorting or injecting cocaine?
Your heart has been damaged by your cocaine use. It could be you will recover or it could be your life span will not last much longer because your heart and arteries have been damaged to much.
Your stents in your arteries could become infected and the doctor will need to operate on you again.
Sometimes the infection can't be fixed and your days will be numbered.
You probably will need to take medicine to keep your heart beating in a correct manner.
If this doesn't work they will need to implant a device that shocks your heart automatically
if it stops.
Was cocaine worth all of this?
If you think it is, well just keep taking it and it will cause a heart attack you can't recover from because you will just drop dead.
Doctors call cocaine, "The Perfect Heart Attack Drug'.
Oh by the way, you are 24,000 times more likely to have a heart attack using cocaine!
