Patient's Query

Dear Doctor,

I am a regular meth smoker. I get really bad stomach pain, vomiting almost with any food, and feel lumps in stomach. What should I do?

How does smoking meth affect stomach? Does smoking meth cause gastritis?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Methamphetamine is a stimulant. Excessive brain stimulation causes hyperactivity of muscles. Because of this, hyperactive muscles can go into spasms and that is the reason you are getting vomiting and feeling lumps. My advise is stay hydrated, drink plenty of water, take foods rich in potassium like banana, tender coconut water etc., and of course start reducing your meth dose.

Hope it helps. Consult a general medicine physician online for further help.
