I have been very stupid. Does thi sound like something serious and heart/ stroke related?

I did cocaine on Sunday for the first time and was worst decision of my life. Egged on by mates to buy a gram, and a i naively did most of it. The day after I felt very hungover and rough as we were also drinking, which I just tried to sleep off. Tuesday then as I stood up in work to go to the toilet, I felt a big rush over my entire body and felt very tingly and as though I was going to pass out. This frightened me massively and I have taken vitamins, cod liver oil, eaten loads of fruit and tons of water. Wednesday then I remained in a dreamy state, as if life wasn't real. This morning I woke up and felt better and thought I was back to normal, then as I walked through today this afternoon, that same rush came over me and I again felt very light headed. I am so worried about this, and scared stuff that it could be a sign of an upcoming stroke/ heart attack. I am only aged 23, but I already know two school friends who have both had heart attacks at a young age. As of right now I feel ok again, it seems to happen in episodes. Do you think this is heart related? Should I go to the hospital? Thanks a lot for any reply.

    If you are still having problems several days after the episode, a visit to your GP and full disclosure of what led to the problems seems in order.

    If you want to set your mind at ease I would recommend going to an ER to get checked.  Tell them you experimented with coke and tell them all the symptoms you experienced.  Chances are you are fine since you only did it once.  I don't know why your friends had heart attacks so young, but the cause of many heart issues of your age group today is drinking energy drinks like Monster and Red Bull.  They are super bad for you, as is coke.   I'd say you'll be fine, but get checked out ASAP if you're still scared that something is wrong.  Good luck.
