Long term abuse of Cocaine can lead to a host of physical (neurological, cardiovascular and respiratory) consequences, including; seizures, stroke, coma, incontinence, convulsions, heart diseases like high blood pressure, heart attacks, altered heart rhythm, chest pains, chronic lung diseases like bronchitis and even ruptured or collapsed lungs, weight loss and malnutrition brought on by lack of appetite.
It would also be unwise to ignore the patterns of risky behaviors which often go hand in hand with Cocaine dependency, like an increase in general risk-taking, ranging from gambling to practicing unsafe sex. In this regard, there is also an increased risk of contracting HIV/AIDS or Hepatitis.
