A cocaine overdose has a massive effect on the heart. The user may have severe chest pain or chest pressure as the coronary arteries that feed blood to the heart constrict. At this point, the heart is being starved of blood and oxygen. As the heart is in a crisis state, it begins to work excessively hard which ultimately can lead to a stroke or a heart attack, even if the person is healthy. The blood pressure and heart rate will also dangerously spike during an overdose which could also cause the heart to fail.http://luxury.rehabs.com/cocaine-addiction/overdose/
