Dizziness, no ecg issues, post op

So recently I am over 6 months post mitral value repair, and I’ve seen my cardiologist until next year but I noticed that I’m getting dizziness, despite the fact there’s no ecg issues and my heart is working normally although a bit weaker for which I’m taking two meds daily, anyone else had the same issue? What action did you take?

Hi, the first place to start is checking the side effects of your meds. If everything else is coming back clear. I've had awful side effects from medication and it's quite simple for your G P to alter the doses. Hope this helps and your feeling tip top very soon.

Can be a side effect of rampiril and other drugs. Try a couple of walking poles and take up Nordic walking to help your exercise levels and improve your balance.
