Will Smoking Of Meth Have Severe Side Effects?

Hello, I smoked meth today and my resting BPM is at 130. Later on in the day it will begin to beat harder and harder as the effects wear off. Is there anything I can do to slow the heart rate besides OTC medicine and alcohol the only thing I have access to is 20mg of Hydrocodone. What do you think would be the best course of action considering the options?

Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Meth lead to high blood pressure and pulse rate due to its stimulant effect on cardiovascular system.

In current condition you should monitor your blood pressure. Take plenty of water, fruit juice and rest. Do not take hydrocodone without physician advice.

Wishing you good health and all the best.
