Brief Answer:
you can take Ambien once
Detailed Answer:
Hello
I can understand your concern
As you explain the history you can safely take Ambien once tablet before sleeping time for sometime.
But you should stop.the other treatment of sleeping you are taking actually.
Ambien doesn't affect the heart function usually but it should not be used for a long time.
I hope to have been helpful
