Am I having a cocaine overdose?

I was in this forum a few months ago with questions about cocaine and alcohol.  Well I am back with another question concerning cocaine.  Memorial Day.... Did a few backs of cocaine with a friend and felt great! Went home around 2:30am and layed in bed and thats when it all began.  My eyes were rolling in the sockets... my heart began to race... I began to sweat... I couldnt breathe very well.  I was breathing but it felt like i could not get enough air! I took a hot bath and felt like i was going to faint... took a cold bath...i was freezing.  Anyways, I tryed so many things to feel better up until 6:30 am when i finally began to calm down.  It is now 12:17 and i slept about 4 hours.  My heart was racing so fast I was about to call an ambulance but my mom would kill me before the cocaine would!  I was having these weird convulsions.  My arms were shaking and my fingers haven been shaking for months. I really felt like i was dying.... I can't explain how horrible I felt.  My question: Was I having an overdose??? or was I just going through something that everybody goes through when they do too much cocaine?  Couls I have died??? my EXTREME question... I am a 20 female in Miami, Florida.... I dont have a drug habit but i do tend to use cocaine about once a month and i always over do it... I am leaving into the Navy in October so I hope that will help me alot... if I use cocaine again and i feel my heart racing and etc.etc.etc.... can you PLEASE reccomend something to help when im experiencing this?  Is there a special remedy?  ANYTHING... please name a few things. Thank you so much.

I really hope you stop taking the drugs, maybe enter a twelvr step program like celebrate recovery. Your life is much more important than the fear of your mom being upset,n having that temp high. I have sadley been dependant on oxycontin daily for 4 years (at least 20a day)...now at only 3 a day. I've been taking coke daily past 6 months(fishscale n 93+pure) it started as a one time thing. Then just occasional then now fully addicted.it's ruined friendships,lost family, fired from my job, completely destroyed my sinuses, my digestive track, had an early misscarriage, messed up my heart,cps got involved...its a horrible drug,n not worth the temp high.drink some energy drinks or supplements from a body shop if u must have something.good luck,n pls make tthe right decision.i very much regret the day I first started drugs to escape from the pain of life rather than doing recovery work.best wishes!

Ok so seriously cocaine is a party drug! It's fun as he'll but as with most things it has dangers! Real bad dangers! So I felt what you felt and stumbled upon a cure. Take 2 5mg benzodiazepine tabs with half a glass of room temp water. Don't smoke anything cigs, etc. Until you feel the first pill about 10 mins this will calm
you and slow your heart rate. The root of all these problems is the heart! I have ADHD so
when I do coke I gotta do MOUNTAINS!!! to feel it like last night we all did about 2grams each maybe 2 and a half. Anywho coke is cool when your this age and partying. But you know you have a problem when your. 1 doing it alone 2. Doing it ALL THE TIME. 3. if you spend more than 200 for it in a month you got issues. But like I said don't freak out you ruined the whole fun of your high! Omg like next time you feel that pop a benzo . Pop a Molly . And go dance and enjoy your trip! It's gonna rock! ;-)
