Should i worry about coke causing stroke or heart attack?

Absolutely yes!: Cocaine can cause accelerated coronary artery disease (CAD) as well as problems with brain circulation. It's typical to see younger patients with a history of chronic use of Cocaine who have early onset of cad. You should consider stop using and consider being checked out for cad.

Yes: I am assuming you mean Cocaine and not coca-cola. If cocaine, then absolutely yes. Cocaine can cause heart attack (and a quite wicked one at that) through spasm of the coronary arteries. The same thing can happen in the brain causing stroke.
