Substance&med abuse : You shouldn't do what you just did. All of what you just took cause your heart to beat fast or even arrhythmia or irregular heart beats. If you see any signs of dizziness, light headedness, you should seek medical attention by going to the er immediately. Those are signs that your brain does not get perfused sufficiently due to arrhythmia.
