I've been using meth for 18 years and I'm about to get a pacemaker. I'm really worried about whether I can continue using meth after I have the pacemaker implanted. What are my chances of living a normal life, and what are the worst complications I could face?

Continuing meth use after getting a pacemaker is dangerous and can increase the risk of severe heart complications, including heart failure, cardiac arrest, and stroke. The best course of action is to quit using meth, work with your healthcare provider, and focus on rehabilitation and healthy lifestyle changes to support your heart health.
