Extended opiate use has been implicated in a form of sleep apnea that can, indeed, lead to congestive heart failure and other problems.
Can one return to taking anabolic steriods use after congestive heart failure?
Unless it's been recommended by your doctor - only if you have a death wish. Steroids and heart failure are both serious things, you really shouldn't be self-medicating and tinkering with either.
Does cayenne pepper help in cases of congestive heart failure?
Cayenne pepper is a potent blood circulation stimulant. Obviously, improving blood circulation is important to a healthy heart. It is known for its ability to stop heart attacks, and regulate blood pressure. In Chinese medicine, we are able to evaluate the Yin/Yang balance of the body, and specific organ systems. Often times, very hot herbs can exacerbate Yang conditions in the body. For example, the stomach can become 'Yin Deficient', a condition that may have signs of intense hunger and thirst. This condition would be intensified with the use of cayenne, as would many, many other conditions. There are many herbs that would safely address congestive heart failure that do not disrupt the Yin/Yang balance of the body; hawthorn, linden, and yarrow come to mind. There are also well balanced formulas that contain gentle blood movers, such as red sage, that help to improve congestive heart failure.
Do steroids pill increase heart rate?
Several of the MANY side effects of steroid use do include Cardiovascular disease by an increase of LDL, or bad cholesterol, and a decrease of HDL (the good cholesterol). High cholesterol is one of the leading risk factors associated to heart attacks and CVD.
What non-communicable diseases attack the heart?
Your use of the word "attack" along with the word "non-communicable" makes me wonder whether you really mean what you seem to mean. Micro-organisms attack the body, but they're communicable. Perhaps you meant to say "affect the heart"...? There are many non-infectious cardiac diseases. These include congenital anomolies such as Tetralogy of Fallot, coronary artery disease, left and right ventricular dysfunction (also known as heart failure), arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, connective tissue diseases such as amyloidosis, and many others. Also, there are diseases which are non-cardiac but which affect the heart's function. These include pulmonary hypertension, vasculitis, anxiety, drug abuse, and many others.
