What other medications are dangerous for the heart?
Some medications prescribed for cardiovascular disease can have adverse effects on the heart. This includes Multaq, which treats arrhythmia, but may increase the risk of stroke and heart attack. Other medications prescribed to treat spasms (Hexaquine® or potassium-based medications such as Diffu K®, Kaléorid®, Potassium Gluconate®, and Potassium Richard®) can cause arrhythmia, low blood pressure, or—worse—a heart attack. The same applies to some medications for impotence (Viagra®, Levitra®, Cialis®) and low libido (Intrinsa®). Therefore, avoid self-medication and consult a doctor immediately if you notice any side effects. If you are taking any of these medications, do not worry, and above all, do not discontinue treatment. However, you can discuss your concerns with your doctor so that they can prescribe alternative treatment, if possible.
How does the heart beat before a heart attack?
Before a heart attack, the body sends warning signals to all cells and organs. This usually manifests as chest tightness and difficulty breathing. Palpitations and sudden dizziness also occur. The person also experiences shortness of breath, digestive problems, and severe fatigue.
What are the other causes of heart failure?
Heart failure can cause complex health problems and can also trigger other health issues. Therefore, people with heart failure can easily become ill due to a weakened heart. Here’s a list of the causes of heart failure:
Hypertension

High levels of bad cholesterol
Excessive consumption of sweetened, carbonated and alcoholic beverages
A diet too high in fat and salt
