MDMA: You took a cardiac stimulant. One of its myriad effects is cardiac stimulation. As a 20 yo, your heart can tolerate 180 bpm. The holter monitor showed that outside of your ecstasy use, you had no aberrant tachycardia. Had you informed your physician of the mdma use, (s)he would have given you a clear bill of health.

Effects of MDMA: Yes, the effects of mdma are serious -- and it sounds like yours certainly were. When you buy it on the street, you have no idea what dose -- or even what drug -- you're getting. Mdma is known for increasing heart rate and bp, even causing heart attacks. I'm glad you have a "normal" heart, which means it should recover as long as you don't put further toxic substances into your system.
