A member asked:
Does being under weight put you at risk of cardiac complications? i don't mean a bmi of 12 i mean model thin.

Complex answer: You have a very low BMI, and you are multiple medications. The risk of heart disease may not just be blockage in there artery but also due to direct heart muscle issue and electrolyte issue. improving nutrition, and regular followup with your MD. There is no simple answer tho your question. My best advise is improve your nutritional status as best as you can and take care of your self!
