Will cocaine use show up in a routine blood work for a physical?how long does it stay in your blood stream?

No: No Cocaine will only show up if you do a drug test. It is a drug tested in urine drug screens if that is done but you have to specifically test for it.

Depends: I knew folks prior to medical school that used pretty heavily. People who do Cocaine arent just contending with the addiction potential ( which is bad enough), but they don't know just how bad it is for your heart, even if you don't have a heart attack per-se. Google Cocaine induced nonischemic cardiomyopathy. Some physicals do drug screens, some do not. It's realllly bad for you.

Not checked: Cocain is not usually checked in routine blood work. Even if its checked it should be out of your system in few days.
