Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 25 years old and I have atrial fibrillation. My doctor told me that as of now its very mild and I do not need to take any medication unless i experience symptoms from it. I am going to a music festival this weekend and am thinking about trying ecstasy. I know most doctors will just say not to take drugs period but I'm just curious as to how dangerous it would be for me considering my preexisting condition.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. It can be dangerous as it may lead to fast heart rate and low blood pressure which may cause collapse. So it's better to avoid and not to take a risk. You might have to rush to ER.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Sagar Makode
