A member asked:
After 16 yrs prescribed oxy for pain. then cut off cold turkey. 1year later diagnosed with congestive heart failure. is there a connection ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart failure: I doubt it's related as a year has passed since the opioid was discontinued. You may have had stress from that withdrawal but did you sustain a major heart attack then?Congestive heart failure is usually caused by longstanding hypertension, valvular heart disease or other heart muscle disorders, chronic uncontrolled arrhythmias as well as less common causes like uncontrolled hyperthyroidism.
