What are the health risks associated with methamphetamine use?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer:
• Methamphetamine can cause a rapid or irregular heartbeat, boost blood pressure, and reduce appetite. Irritability, anxiety, insomnia, confusion, and tremors are also side effects. High doses can elevate body temperature to dangerous or lethal levels, as well as cause convulsions. Cardiovascular collapse and death are not uncommon. Chronic abusers may experience aggressiveness, anorexia, memory loss, hallucinations, and a paranoia that sometimes causes homicidal or suicidal thoughts.
• Chronic methamphetamine use significantly changes how the brain functions. Long-term use can reduce motor speed and impair verbal learning.
• "Meth mouth" (severely stained teeth that appear to be rotting away or falling out) and cold sores may also develop.
