What Causes Sleepiness,weakness And Dizziness When On Heart Medication?
I had a heart attack back in July 2013 and I have 9 different medications to take. I am a truck driver and with the medications I stay sleepy, weak and sometimes I have severe dizziness to the point where I have to pull off the road till I get myself together. I was asked to go on disability last july but I proceeded to work and I was wondering what your professional opinion is.

Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Any one of the several medicines may be contributing
Or the initial heart problem itself may be responsible
Appropriate treatment demands accurate diagnosis
And diagnosis demands examination; probably investigation too
Get yourself reviewed – Cardiologist \ ENT specialist (balancing mechanism is in the inner ear) \ and/or a neurologist (brain centre or blood flow) MRI and/or MRA may be needed
Good luck
God bless you
