John,
It seems that your body is telling you that it can not handle the abuse anymore. You did not specify what kind of pain you are having, but if it is difficult for you to breath, it may be your chest. Cocaine causes constriction of all blood vessels including those in your heart and lungs. That leads to diminished blood supply to your heart muscle as the drug also causes it to beat faster and harder causing possible ischemia. That can eventually and very quickly lead to a heart attack or severe heart arrhythmia that can lead to sudden death. Such deaths are relatively common in both meth and cocaine users. Please consider this carefully before further use as you have already had plenty of warning. Good luck to you.
