a friend of mine was fitted with a pacemaker just over a year ago,there's a history of heart problems in the family.
his health hasn't been the best over the last year or so but i seen him last night for the 1st time in a few weeks and he doesn't look well at all.a lot of the time he was talking to me he was going on about how sick he feels and that he hasn't got any energy.he often talks to me about how he's feeling but not to this extent.he also got a taxi home which is very unusual as it is only about a .5km walk for him,albeit uphill.
i was talking to his sister last night and she was saying the family are very worried about him.he goes on weekly visits to the hospital so i'm sure they're keeping tabs on the situation,i was just wondering if anyone on here could suggest anything to maybe boost his energy levels?
because of his condition exercise is pretty much out of the question,would there be any supplements he could maybe take to help him?

Sorry to hear about your friend.

The internet isn't the place for this. If your friend is making weekly visits to the hospital, his energy levels should be raised as a point of concern by him or his family with the staff there.

even supplements can interfere with the meds he's already on. He needs to speak to his doc about this.
