Could Lightheadedness, Thighs Tightness And Soreness In Body Be Due To Meth?

I ve been smoking meth day and night for about 5 days, today the back of my thighs feel extremely tight, my body is really sore, my mouth is incredibly dry, paired with sores all over my tongue, and lastly every time I stand up I feel extremely light headed and my vision grays out so I can t see, this lasts for 5 to 10 seconds before I can see again, however the pressure in my head and slight dizziness remains. Are all of these caused by meth? About how long will each problem take to go away? I m done with the drug, so there won t be any more exposure. How can I speed up the healing process?

yes, certainly a very powerful .. and sometimes fatal ... stimulant of stress hormones such as methamphetamine can overstimulate the blood pressure and heart and cause serious chest pain.

it can also stimulate the digestive system and cause non-serious chest pain.

it can also ...mostly does... stimulate the brain and cause anxiety/panic which can make one feel like one is having chest pain.

cannot say in your particular condition wihotu an exam.
