Snorting pills damage

[Kirstoon]

I've been snorting prescription amphetamines for a while now (every day for at least a couple months), in replacement to cocaine use. I realize now that some things are kinda wrong with me, and I need to know if I should go to the ER or just schedule an appointment with my family doctor.
My throat is all ****** up. It hurts to swallow on one side, and I have this bad dry cough. Sometimes I'll wheeze when I exhale and inhale. I get chest pains in my left side that makes me wanna think I'm having a small heart attack. My heart rate will also soar, and my hands would get cold and sweaty. My nostrils look all messed up too (bump on the side of outside nostril, one nostril all clear, one kinda blocked with this pink fleshy thing) but so far my nose doesn't hurt.
Please answer soon!

Snorting pills is the absolute most dangerous habit known. The pills invariably contain inert  filler that is no different, in terms of dangerousness,  from  asbestos. The next result is invariably development of fibrosis, sometimes years later, progressive deterioration in the ability to breath, air hunger, an oxygen unit 24/7 and death. There is no treatment. The lung has a slight ability to discharge these particles, but over time becomes overwelmed.

I would suggest you to snort some L Glutamine powder instead (If you really must snort something for the brain dependence of snorting) And In the meanwhile you could drink some in water on early stomach as well. Start hitting some gym bro. Or just Run! Don't worry things will get better in the time you take in charge of yourself and start to make some healthy choices for yourself. Get well soon! Wish you a clean future!

Hi Kristoon and welcome to the forum.  I just read your post from last month and am truly concerned about you.  You say you started using at age 12 and are now 15?  You've been to treatment but are now using again?  The younger we are when we begin abusing our bodies, the more damage we can do to ourselves.  PLEASE go see your doctor and be honest about all the substances you are taking, ok?  He/she may want you to see an ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat) specialist.
Also, if you don't change your friends, your source for drugs and alcohol and the places you hang out, you are on a fast train to destroying yourself.

I hope you'll see your dr and also get involved in a recovery program.  You have a long beautiful life ahead of you if you can face your demons now.
You are precious and SO worth it~
