How to overcome increased heart rate from substance intake?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am a 25-year-old female who is 6 feet tall and weighs 260 pounds. I have severe anxiety and paranoia as a consequence of my use of meth. I am not in pain or anything, but I am quite worried. My pulse rate is 130 bpm, and my blood pressure is 160/80 mmHg, according to my wrist monitor.

My resting heart rate is normally 88 beats/minute, and my blood pressure is usually 125/60 mmHg. I take Zoloft 150 mg and Buspar 30 mg and I was supposed to take Seroquel 50 mg for sleep, but I rarely do as it exhausts me till the next day. Normally, I only take cocaine once every three months, but I was unable to find any this time, so the dealer gave me meth instead, which is how I acquired it. I have a 1 mg Xanax, but I am not sure whether mixing it is a smart idea, and I do not want to put further strain on my heart. Should I use Aspirin to reduce my heart rate? Would that be okay? Please help.

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Aspirin (thrombolytic) has no effect on heart rate. It is pointless to take it. You should avoid using substances like cocaine, which are hazardous to your heart and raise your blood pressure and heart rate. As a solution to your problem, I recommend that you take a stress management course.

I hope this helps.
