I'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.

View allMy grandmother has been taking Montek LC for about three months now because she started having a mild cough after her cardiac surgery, due to pleural effusion. I'm just a bit worried about whether there might be any side effects from using this medication for such a long period. Also, can it affect her kidneys in any way?
Montek LC, which combines montelukast and levocetirizine, is generally safe for long-term use, but prolonged use can sometimes cause mild side effects like dry mouth, drowsiness, or dizziness. It is not typically harsh on the kidneys, but it's important to monitor kidney function, especially in older adults, during extended use. Regular follow-ups with her doctor would be helpful.

I've been having this regular pain on the left side of my chest for about a week now, and after getting some cardiac tests done, they mentioned things like Sinus bradycardia with Sinus arrhythmia and Hyperacute T waves. I'm having some breathlessness too, but my heartbeat is at 58. The TIPI probability of ACI came out as 9. I'm really hoping you could help me understand what all of this means and if it's something I should be really worried about. Would love some guidance on this!
kindly visit a cardiologist

I'm feeling this strange pulsating sensation in my left ribs that goes down my armpit, and I'm having some chest pain as well. It's pretty unsettling, and on top of that, my left hand and leg keep sweating. This mostly happens at night, and I notice my heart is beating faster during these episodes. Any ideas on what might be causing this?
