About 4 months ago I had been experiencing
a tightning sensation at my neck which I
thought might of been high blood pressure
as the nurse at work had said when I began
working at my current job, that it was a
bit high. Then the week following I ws
sitting in a training session, and about
30 mins into it I started to feel hot and
sweaty, then my heart started racing for
no reason and I experienced palpatations,
I felt asthough I was going to black out.
At this point I felt what I would
describe as a twang in my chest, after
which my pulse started returning back to
normal, and I felt a little weak. I
managed to keep looking normal as noone
seemed to notice, and by the end of the
training I felt ok again.
Since then this hasn't happened again,
althogh my heart does race for no reason
sometimes. Does it sound like I may have
a problem? The only explanation I can
put is I experimented with ecstasy 2 years
ago, and took around 6 over a 12 hour
period. The next day I was fine, but on
the second day I had something similar to
what I described above, almost passing out
and feeling tightness around my neck, etc
etc.
Could this be related so long after taking
the drug, or could I have damaged my
circulation/heart in some way?
I'm 24 years old, smoke and don't do as
much exercise as I know I should.

Heart Problem Posted: 12-02-03 08:53am
Hello I am a 27 year old female having the
same problems as you only that it happens
alot. You should go to a cardiologist
and have a sonogram of the heart that what
I did. They say I have an abnormality
and they really didnt tell me what it is.
But I have to go for another echo
sonogram again. I would not mess around
with what you are feeling. The diffrence
from the kneck pain and me is that I feel
like someone is steping on my left chest
then my arm becomes week and I start to
get tired sometimes even feel like I am
going to pass out and colapse. You sould
really tell your doctor and yes that type
of drug can couse you problems with the
muscles in your heart to not function the
way they are suppose to you could even
damaged it especially with six pills in 12
hours of that drug.
