Have Chiari Malformation 1, Right Side Weakness After Brain Stem Stroke. Take Lopressor. Losing Balance. Why ?

I am 62 years old and have chiari malformation 1. I had a brain stem stroke 20 years ago with right side weakness that has not gone away. Lopressor has been prescribed for fast palpitations while at rest. I can't balance myself with the weakness and this drug. It doesn't stop the heart from fluttering. Maybe the Chiari and brain tonsils finally caused problems with my heart that drugs can't correct. Would that be possible?

Hi, you are 62 years, had stroke 20 years ago, and now your body has changed a lot, including the harmones. There could be ischemia of the brain, anemia, anxiety, etc.
I advise you to consult a neurologist for diagnosis and treatment.
Take green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and proteine rich foods. Thank you.
