Hi
in my patient I would not have diagnosed her as a case of heart attack. These are all symptoms of anxiety produced by use of substances
To my patient I would have referred her to a de addiction and rehabilitation centre for proper treatment
Wish drug and alcohal abuse free life and an early rehabilitation to your friend
