Amphetamines linked to heart attacks among young adults

This should really come of no surprise. Amphetamines may place young adults at a higher risk of suffering a heart attack. We all know that methamphetamines and amphetamines are bad for your health. These type of drugs are also legally used to treat ADD in some young persons.

 “Most people aren’t surprised that methamphetamines and amphetamines are bad for your health,” Dr. Westover said. “But we are concerned because heart attacks in the young are rare and can be very debilitating or deadly.”

The abuse of methamphetamin is increasing in most major U.S. cities. So scary indeed. Talk to your kids, scare your kids, reason with them- do whatever it takes to keep them from being a statistic.
