Cocaine at Christmas Party Causes Heart Failure

A 39-year-old man went to a Christmas party and tried cocaine for the first time.

He didn't have any health problems before.

After using the drug, he felt very sick with chest pain, vomiting, and sweating.

Doctors thought he was having a heart attack, but tests showed his heart arteries were not blocked.

Instead, the cocaine made his heart's blood vessels tighten too much, which hurt his heart.

He had to stay in the hospital because his heart wasn't working well.

The doctor who treated him wants people to know that even trying drugs once can be very dangerous for your heart.
