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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

I'm really puzzled about my friend's sudden passing. He was perfectly fine until about 10:30 in the morning, but out of nowhere, he had a severe cardiac arrest and died by 10:50. In the 48 days leading up to his death, he rarely ate food from home. I can't help but wonder if there might be anything like a slow poison that could have affected him. Could you shed some light on what might have happened?
While I understand your concern about potential poisoning given the changes in his eating habits, sudden cardiac arrest can happen without warning even in people who appear healthy. The period of irregular eating could be related to various factors like stress, depression, or underlying health issues. If you have serious concerns about the circumstances, I would encourage you to share them with the relevant authorities and discuss with his family about requesting an autopsy if one hasn't been performed. Most importantly, please make sure you're getting support during this difficult time - losing someone suddenly is incredibly challenging, and it's natural to have questions and seek answers about what happened.
