24-Year-Old Develops Rapid Heart Rate After Night of Alcohol, Smoking, and Medication Use

A 24-year-old man was admitted to the emergency room with a heart rate of 212 beats per minute after a night of drinking, smoking, and sharing a joint with friends. Despite similar consumption by others, only he developed narrow complex tachycardia, a rapid heart rhythm condition. Doctors used a Valsalva manoeuvre to restore normal rhythm. The case highlights how individual reactions and possible drug interactions can lead to unexpected cardiac events even in healthy individuals.
