I'm experiencing heart palpitations and dizziness, even though my heart test results came back normal. I'm really concerned about these symptoms and wonder what could be causing them. Could it be something other than a heart issue?

View allI've been using meth for 18 years and I'm about to get a pacemaker. I'm really worried about whether I can continue using meth after I have the pacemaker implanted. What are my chances of living a normal life, and what are the worst complications I could face?
Continuing meth use after getting a pacemaker is dangerous and can increase the risk of severe heart complications, including heart failure, cardiac arrest, and stroke. The best course of action is to quit using meth, work with your healthcare provider, and focus on rehabilitation and healthy lifestyle changes to support your heart health.

I'm trying to understand if the Carca 3.125 medication I'm taking after having a stent placed is related to the headaches I've been experiencing. My blood pressure seems to be stable around 10567 after taking the meds, so I'm a bit puzzled. Could the Carca be affecting me this way?

I've been noticing something strangewhen I'm lying in bed, I can actually feel my heartbeat, and while my heart rate seems normal, my body feels like it's shaking a bit with each beat. I got my echocardiogram results, and it shows a myxomatous mitral valve with mild MR, with measurements of LV ID at 5.7 cm and 3.8 cm, IVSd at 0.8 cm, LVPWd at 0.8 cm, and an EF of 60%. The doctor mentioned my left ventricle is slightly enlarged but not dangerous. But here's the thingwhen I stand up quickly from lying down, I get really dizzy. Could you explain what might be going on and what I should do about it?
When you suddenly stand from a lying position and feel dizzy, it could be due to a drop in blood pressure known as orthostatic hypotension. To help alleviate this symptom, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake, wearing compression stockings, and slowly transitioning from lying to standing positions. Additionally, you may benefit from medications such as Fludrocortisone to help increase blood volume and improve blood pressure regulation. It is important to discuss these options with your doctor to determine the best course of action based on your individual health needs.
