1,2,3,4 -- The patient will most likely exhibit tachycardia and dysrhythmias. The patient’s appetite has been suppressed by the methamphetamine use and the patient will mostly likely be thin. Angina is a common complaint among people who use methamphetamines. The patient’s blood pressure is likely to be elevated due to the vasoconstriction that is produced by this type of drug use.
