Question 1

I've never done drugs before, but the other night I ended up trying crystal meth and weedjust a couple of lines and some puffs. Ever since then, I've been feeling really off. I got some sleep, but I'm still dizzy, had diarrhea, and even after drinking a ton of fluids, I get these random chest pains. Is this something that I should be really worried about? Any idea what's going on or what I should do next?

Accepted Answer

I recommend taking activated charcoal to help absorb any remaining toxins in your system. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter antidiarrheal medication like Imodium for your diarrhea. For the chest pain, you can take ibuprofen for pain relief. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention immediately.

Question 2

I'm having some pretty bad chest pain that seems to get worse whenever I eat or breathe deeply, and it's right in the middle of my chest. I recently used nitrous oxide whippits, and I'm worried it might be related. Could this be a side effect or something more serious? What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Troponin t  ckmb tests and an ecg is advised to the patient.

Question 3

Overdose of Dolo 650mg - What would happen if someone took 10 Dolo 650mg tablets all at once? Is it really dangerous enough to cause death, and what other side effects should I be worried about?

Accepted Answer

Taking 10 Dolo 650 mg tablets (total 6,500 mg of paracetamol) at once is very dangerous and potentially life-threatening. Here's what happens:

🚨 Why It's Dangerous:
Liver Toxicity: Paracetamol in high doses overwhelms the liver, leading to acute liver failure.

Fatal Dose: A single dose above 7,000–10,000 mg can be lethal, especially without treatment.

⚠️ Symptoms to Watch For:
First 24 hours:

Nausea, vomiting

Sweating, general discomfort

Pale skin

24–72 hours:

Liver damage signs begin: right upper belly pain, dark urine, yellowing skin (jaundice)

72–96 hours:

Peak liver failure: confusion, bleeding, low blood sugar, coma or death

🆘 What to Do:
Immediate ER visit is critical.

Activated charcoal may be given early.

Antidote: N-acetylcysteine (NAC), most effective within 8 hours of overdose.

Bottom line: Yes, taking 10 tablets is potentially deadly. Immediate medical attention can save life and liver. Never delay if overdose is suspected.

I'm a bit confused about tetanus shots. If I get one today and then have an injury in the next few days, do I need another injection right away, or am I covered for a bit? Can you help clarify this?
