Can a One Time Cocaine Overdose Cause Permanent Heart Problems?
Question by JohnT: Can a one time cocaine overdose cause permanent heart problems?
I know someone who had a powder cocaine overdose around 6 years ago, it gave him something called Ventricular Vacucardia (sp?)
He now takes cardizem now. The thing is it seems placebo because he will have a shoulder pain or get upset then think he’s having a heart attack. And he can’t afford to go to the doctor and has gone to the ER about 2 times a month recently.
Can a cocaine overdose make you need to take something like cardizem and you always will worry that you will have a heart attack at any moment?
Thanks 🙂

Ventricular tachycardia. He sounds afraid of dying. Even if he never takes another dose of cocaine, he can still die–out of no where. That is why he is so afraid. Cocaine causes scar tissue to form in your heart, so it is not reversible.

One overdose of Cocaine can be all it takes to suffer a fatal heart attack.
It depends on how heavily the person who over dosed had inhaled — or
ingested — and how much they’d used it before.
Either way, if a person doesn’t die from an overdose, their remaining days
will be severely numbered after that — mainly because Cocaine does an
irreversible damage to both the heart and the brain.

Ventricular tachycardia is basically where the lower chambers of the heart beat abnormally fast and out of sync with the upper chambers. It’s this arrythmia that causes the pain and yes, your friend could die if the heartbeat remains out of sync for long periods of time. It’s a serious condition. Cardizem is NOT a placebo and is designed to help the heart beat more efficiently. The damage to your friend’s heart is irreversible and this condition will worsen over time, requiring the use of more drugs to keep everything as stable as possible for as long as possible.
Hopefully your friend isn’t complicating matters by continuing to use cocaine. If so, he or she is playing Russian Roulette with their life. Urge this person to enter rehab immediately if he is still an active user.
