What drugs affect your body in the circulatory system?

Answer 1

StimulantsStimulants such as cocaine or methamphetamine can result in over-stimulation of the heart muscle causing irregular heart rhythms which can be dangerous as it increases the risk of fibrillation. Also, due to the fact that they cause elevated blood pressure, it could increase the risk of a stroke and other conditions that occur as a result of high blood pressure, especially in those who already have a too high blood pressure. DepressantsDepressants slow the heart rate and cause low blood pressure. This could cause dizziness and fainting. They also slow the rate of breathing. As above, the effect on blood pressure carries the same risk as a more chronic blood pressure abnormality - for example it could cause kidney failure. Illicit Street DrugsContaminants that drug dealers use to 'cut' the drugs with could be harmful. Many of these are not soluble in the blood and therefore they can cause blockages or internal bleeding (e.g. if crushed glass was used). Also, if drugs are taken intravenously, blood poisoning or inflammation of the heart lining can occur as well as collapsed veins or bacterial infection. If users share needles, there is the chance of getting diseases such as HIV or Hepatitis.
