So I (19f) have been addicted to cocaine for almost a year now, I was not very knowledgeable about coke when I started and I find it’s hard to find any info on safe use/ things I’m concerned about so any info is appreciated!!!

Disclaimer I know the best option for being safe with this drug is to not use, but unfortunately I am an addict and it’s not just that easy, I have plans of stopping and tend to go without then relapse so any negativity or advice to “stop” is unwanted because if it was that easy I would have already done it

For background I weigh about 210lbs and am 5’11, I have previous heart murmurs, live in the south in terms of humidity, and consume anywhere between .5/2gs a day(12 hr window) with a couple of days worth of breaks in between binges (binge can last from 3 days to a week) I also ordered testers to start testing my stuff! Now to my concerns

• not every time but quite often after using for a couple of days (I sleep and eat every day) I will randomly develop shortness of breath and difficulty taking “full satisfying breaths” it doesn’t necessarily feel like chest tightness but more of a lung problem maybe ? Im a Heavy smoker and have been for 5 years so I doubt my lungs are in great shape but I don’t drink alcohol and am not sure what this is, sometimes it gets so bad I feel like I need to go to the ER and start coughing so hard to catch breathes but other times it’s just kinda there I don’t think it’s anxiety either does anyone have experience with this aswell or any ideas of. What it could be/ how to help?

• next the NOSE PAIN!!! IVe tried everything from Neti pot to saline sprays, afrin, hot showers, humidifiers, ibuprofen, aquaphor, snorting water right after a line, and coconut oil but at the end of every session without fail my nose is just so hurt!! There’s no holes or deviation at this point I check often my nose is either just so dry or SOOO moist and stuffy does anyone have good advice on clearing out snot and minimizing nose pain?

• also dehydration! I drink plenty of water and use liquid iv packets a good bit and try to keep drinking but im always so dehydrated am I doing something wrong ?

• last thing I can think of rn that is of concern is sometimes after doing like a G or more I get this weird almost painful sensation in the back of my head/neck. It doesn’t happen every time but only happens after using . I’m not sure how to describe it, like not quite pins n needles but it’s definitely uncomfortable and noticeable and I can’t find any info on anything remotely similar, does anyone have insight on this?

I also only buy from the same plug for context! Sorry for the long post I just wanted to be as thorough as possible to receive the best advice! i also am aware using drugs has consequences and some things won’t stop unless I stop but i thought I’d post incase there was anything anyways

TLDR; I’m a heavy coke user with limited research and am looking for insight on nose pain, dehydration, difficulty breathing, and head pain after use
