How risky is MDMA use for someone who has heart palpitations.
Q: I have had some heart troubles. I have occasional palpitations (very minor, and i've never lost conciousness from them, they last maybe 2 seconds 2 times a month at most). I was wondering how risky it would be for me to do X again. I havent done it in like 8 or 9 months.
A: It is important to know that we are not doctors. If there is any possibility of consulting your doctor on the issue of the effects of amphetamines on your condition...do so.

We know very little about heart palpitations, but MDMA is a strong amphetamine and definitely a cardio-vascular stressor. MDMA is definitely contraindicated for those with cardio-vascular problems.

peace,
fire
