How to treat tachycardia and increased heart rate due to vasoconstruction?
Patient: Hi, I'm a student at a Belgian university and I kind of ran out of time to finish learning my exam. So someone here in the studenthome gave me a mix of herbal extracts an caffeïne for the night. I think this was not the case, I've had tachycardia + increased heartrate all night long, also my limbs are a bit cold and numb, due to vasoconstriction (also blue knees and weird skin colour) My roommate told me I was probably given mephedrone! and actually I think he's right, it matches all the symptoms. My exam is tomorrow morning, I recieved the "booster" yesterday around 9pm. Can't fully concentrate and also I'm quite "amped up" if that's the correct word. I know I've been stupid but is there anything I can do about it, I've tried eating chocolate for the vasoconstriction, but eating is hard. I'm 21 years old, weigh 85kg and 175cm. I'm actually a dentistry student, and I know it's not lifethreatening at the moment, but I just want to be able to focus asap. Thanks in advance! Doctor: you can tab nifedipine 60 mg extended release preparation for vasoconstriction. if you are having too much tachycardia or palpitations you can have tab ciplar LA 40 mg, it will resolve palpitations and anxiety.
