This state of the body leads to dystrophy. Accordingly, the heart begins to work worse. The consequences of using cocaine, ephedrine, ecstasy, amphetamine differ in the mechanism of destruction of the body. After taking such stimulants, a person's pulse is much faster, blood pressure rises. As a result, there is a spasm of blood vessels, disrupting the processes of thermoregulation of the body. In this case, an increase in temperature is observed. Such a load on the human body is fraught with stroke, heart attack or the occurrence of arrhythmia. In spite of the type of drug use, the heart of the addict is heavily worn out. If he does not die from an overdose or pneumonia, then in 3-5 years his heart will be like an old man.
