Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I'm afraid your question is too vague to be answered. If you'd like to receive a credible answer you should clarify the following:
- "bad heart": it could be a lot of things for example atrial fibrilllation (fits well with your history of stroke), coronary heart disease, heart failure, pericarditis, etc.
- what drugs: you haven't mentioned either the names or the active ingredients of the drugs you're using and the dosage. This is very important!
- "messing me up": this is not a very helpful description, I'm afraid. Please describe your symptoms in detail. One final note is this: the most appropriate person to decide about a patient's treatment is the patient's doctor. This is the only doctor that knows the patient's history in detail. Some side effects can be attributed to drugs but an experienced doctor can tell when a patient requires further investigation or not. So in conclusion, I don't have enough data to comment on the essence of your case. You can send another question will more details if you'd like. Until then I'd suggest you to follow your doctor's advice.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
