Cocaine Heart Palpatations ,like a chemical imbalance , dizzy spells , confusion

I have been having heart palpitations every day for 3 1/2 months and extreme pain and confusion when trying to sleep or relaxed followed by more heart palpitations , after doing cocaine on April the 15th 2012, My chest feels weak all day , i can not do anything physical or my heart will start to palpitate and hurt. And i think i damaged a nerve in my brain that controls our relaxation system and chemicals, its like if im still under the influence of cocaine , but i have seized all drug use, not even a sip of alcohol.Has any one ever experienced this its been 3 1/2 months my doctors say its withdraw but its as if my body didnt metabolize the cocaine or if it was cut with something .My heart is fine whats causing it to beat faster is what ever chemical imbalance i caused myself. please can someone with more experience than mee help mee.

You may have damaged your heart muscles doing cocaine. Your doctor probably did an EKG didn't he? I'd keep the appointment you mentioned and see if they can't do something to help.

And stay way from cocaine from now on.

i never knew that being induced in a psychosis , would cause your heart to palpitate so hard for months , and it to be so painful physically , mentally thank god im ok. But i was in extreme pain brutally worst ive ever felt and im still in pain not as bad but still, I dnt mean to sound like and idiot at such a serious problem but the only thing that has been getting mee by mentally is that im so experienced with being under the influence.I started when i was started smoking weed at 12 tryd cocaine at 14 , but i never injured my self once in my life until today when im most experienced .But yea telling my self to relax and that itll wear off in a couple months its whats keeping mee sane , Listening to music like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO0GgHuXUyA&feature=youtu.be and telling my self that i chose this life style , but im also doing raw food detoxes , Water and Lemon Fasting detoxes , Taking inositol , Vitamin b6 , Eating alot of potassium , Omega 3s for my heart , oat meal , lots of Albacore tuna , trying amino acid therapy +Amino Acid Vitamin supplements , i still need to try a sauna detox , im going to goo next week hopefully i dnt no why i havnt went yet , but hopfully my heart starts to beats normal and my chest starts to feel strong again , and get to finally sleep with out the dizzy brutal pain spells and extreme confusion , So you experienced something similar , i go to C.A ( Cocaine Anonymous ) also .

"I was referrald to a psychiatrist about 2 weeks ago"

That's your best bet. I still say you're suffering from a drug induced psychosis. I've seen it before and it can last long after you stop using cocaine. I'm not saying it to be mean, I want the best for you. I went through the depths of hell coming off cocaine and would have slit my throat but couldn't bear the thought of my mom finding me in a blood bath.

Be careful taking benzos. If you're taking them sporadically you could be addicted before you know it and you don't want to go there.

i have 10 Mg Valiums , but the thing is there to strong to be using everyday , i no it will relieve my symptoms , i was prescribe the Valiums about a month and a half ago , and im still feeling the numbing chest feeling and dizzy spell headrush pain , when about to sleep and also strange ; as soon as i start to get more than 8 hrs sleep , as in when im about to sleep in i feel the same exact symptoms as when im trying to fall asleep. I have 1 mg Ativan too but im down to like my last 4 doses. I was referrald to a psychiatrist about 2 weeks ago, but im so over feeling like this that i just accepted hydroxyzine ( i asked for them ), as a safe alternative to xannax , ativan , Valium , etc ( benzodiazepines ) , i thought
theyd help ( hydroxyzine ) they did for the first week but now the symptoms came back , this feeling is too extreme . The xannax sound relaxing right now that i think about i need a break from this .Thnx ill write more in the morning im just tired right now going to take two doses of Hydroxyzine see if it makes a difference , Thnx again

Why don't you see if your doctor will put you on something for anxiety. I think that would help more than anything else.

I've been strung out on cocaine before. The mental aspect of detoxing ranks with Xanax as far as being hard to come off of. I hope you can get back to your old self and wish you the best.
