Does Taking Vioxx Slows Down The Heart Rate?

I was diagnosed with SDS, high vTach and low Brac Tach in 2005 after being on Vioxx for a long period of time. After being taken off the Vioxx my heart went down. I have had 1 full heart abaltion and four attempted abalations to fix the problem. After all said and done a on demand pacemaker had to be installed, due to synescope and high Vtach. I am now 53 and noticed I am slowing down and getting exhausted very quickly and get dizzie when I lay down. I have no known heart problems Valves are good no blockages but get fatiqed very fast.

Sir you need to get a good medical check up done. The exhaustion could be simply due to age or there might be underlying medical problem. If you feel it's not just age related, Anemia usually presents with such symptom. Or any problem in your pacemaker could affect the pumping capacity of your heart leading to less supply of blood to organs. Hence the early exhaustion. I recommend you to get a thorough medical examination done.
