Day two off Oxys, rapid heartbeat setting in.... How can I stop it??

[Doodlebug87]

Omg, I just got out of a hot epsom salt bath because I've seen some posts on here that it really helps detox. Now my heart is pounding out of my chest??  Feels like I just did a line of coke, and God knows I haven't touched that crap in a long long long time!!

I did find that this happened to me after getting out of hot epsom salt bath. Would stand up to get out and dry off and i would have to sit on cold floor outside the tub till it would calm down. It sounds, to me, like normal detox b/c rapid heart rate, panicky feeling, i felt it come in waves and certain things made it way more intense.
Im glad your feeling better and its calmed down. Sometimes, when i feel that start i sit down and put a cool rag on the back of my neck. It seems to calm things down.

Rapid heartbeat and feeling like its gonna pound out of your chest, in my experience, is very common during the first two weeks. It comes and goes. Hang in there.

GO TO THE ER. WHY WOULD YOU FOOL AROUND WITH THIS? geezzz

[lulu747]

If you are really concerned go to the ER.  However, I often get a pounding heart in a hot bath- even when not detoxing.  Your heart pounds hard when detoxing.  Try laying in a cool quiet place and take deep breaths, in through the nose for 6 hold for two breaths, out through the nose for 8.  Repeat this until it slows down and your limbs feel heavy.  If this does not work go to the ER.

Detox causes your BP to escalate.  This is why clonidine, a BP med commonly used in opiate detox is prescribed.
Check in and let us know how you are.
