cocaine
my partner was taken into hospital last night with severe chest pain and numbness down left arm, he had taken cocaine. He's being kept in tonight again. How serious is it?
Cocaine abusers can experience acute cardiovascular or cerebrovascular emergencies, such as a heart attack or stroke, which may cause sudden death. Cocaine-related deaths are often a result of cardiac arrest or seizure followed by respiratory arrest. The fact your partner is with medical care may be an escape from serious after effects or any permanent damage!
