Now that we are on the thirteenth part of this new series of article from Men, Heart Diseases and EKG Machines, we will be discussing the prevention of further heart damage.
In an effort to prevent further heart damage:
• Stop smoking or chewing tobacco.
• Reach and maintain your healthy weight.
• Control high blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and diabetes.
• Exercise regularly.
• Do not drink alcohol.
• Have surgery or other procedures to treat your heart failure as recommended.
What Medications Should I Avoid if I Have Heart Failure?
There are several different types of medications that are best avoided in those with heart failure including:
• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications such as Motrin or Aleve. For relief of aches, pains, or fever take Tylenol instead.
• Most antiarrhythmic agents
• Most calcium channel blockers (if you have systolic heart failure)
• Some nutritional supplements, such as salt substitutes, and growth hormone therapies
• Antacids that contain sodium (salt)
• Decongestants such as Sudafed
