Chest pain after smoking crack?

After I smoke crack, I immediately get a weird tight, heaviness around my left breast, a weird feeling along my collarbone. My throat feels like it's going to close and my head gets a headache and outward pressure. It happens every time right after I exhale and goes away in about 5 or 10 minutes. What is going on?

Please see your Physician. Check your heart and lungs. Some important tests may be done. Ultimately you will feel fine.
It seems like the crack is giving you broncospasm and vasoconstriction. This joint may not agree with you.
Good luck.
