My Dr has suggested that I have narcolepsy and is suggesting medication. I am 68 years old and had a heart attack when I was 57. My blood pressure and colestrol are being controlled by medication. Is it safe for my heart to take medication for narcolepsy?
If you truly have narcolepsy then, a sleep study which includes what is called a MSLT will give you the answer and would be a much better thing to do in order to verify the diagnosis rather than blindly taking medication that can affect the heart and also has other side effects that I'm sure you'd rather NOT have. If you would like a more comprehensive consultation please write me at
