Is SN tachycardia similar to cocaine?

[Deleted member 17331]

I apologize if the question is repetitive or very stupid. I've tried CTB for a cocaine overdose (yes, I think I'm an idiot), and it was very painful. My heartbeat went out of control and I ended up calling the ambulance.

I would like to know if SN tachycardia is very strong, just like with cocaine. Is it painful? Is it easily bearable?

I don't understand English very well, so I was confused on some topics. Forgive me.

Tachycardia is just the name of a symptom of increased heart rate. So if cocaine overdose causes tachycardia, and SN does cause tachycardia, then this symptom should feel similar in either case. The speed and degree of intensity may differ, however. Also, other symptoms may change the overall tone of the whole experience. So tachycardia while otherwise feeling relaxed (such as after running a race), and tachycardia while feeling anxious (such as during a suicide attempt), may be perceived very differently despite being the same symptom.

To my recollection, the SN guides describe the feelings of tachycardia as being noticeable but not painful. They also suggest the use of beta-blockers to reduce this symptom.
