Can I still workout?

[evilgenius]

I am 45 years old and have been weight training for many years.    I have recently been told I have Left Ventricular Hypertophy, Low Ejection Fraction (35%) and Global Hypokinesis.  I have a history of High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol (LDL), High Triglycerides and Anxiety.  I have been on various medications for many years to control these conditions.  I am currently taking Atacand (for BP), Zetia (cholesterol) and Effexor (anxiety).  My cardiologist has recently prescribed Coreg which I am now taking in addition to my other meds.

I have used many bodybuilding supplements including prohormones, various forms of creatine and stimulants.  I also take Multi Vitamins, Omega 3 and Hawthorn Berry.  In my 20's I frequently used Cocaine, Meth and I still use Cannabis regularly.  I have been Coke and Meth free for around 15 years.  I smoked cigarettes from my teens until my early 30's.  I do not drink much alcohol although I have in the past.  I am aware that these substances may have contributed to my condition.  

However my question is could any of my bodybuilding supplementation have caused my heart condition?  Will I ever be able to weight train again?  What if I were to use low weights with high reps?  What about cardio?  I have not exercised at all since learning of my condition.  But now I feel miserable and have always felt better when I workout regularly.

Are there any bodybuilding supplements I can still take?  What supplements would be beneficial for my heart?  What supplements should I avoid?

Is it possible that taking all these prescribed meds at once could have a negative effect?  What about the side effects?  Is it really necessary to take Atacand and Coreg together?

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm over twenty years older than you, keep that in mind, and I'm not a health professional, but I have lifted weights and done cardio quite a while and take Coreg.  I'm not qualified to talk about most of your issues, but will tell you, based on my experience, you will have trouble exercising vigorously and building muscle when taking Coreg.  It slows down the heart and changes the metabolism.  I don't try to add muscle, but given my age plus a couple of heart attacks I'm not interested in biceps any more, so I've lowered my weight amounts and increased my reps... I don't lift more than 100 pounds anymore with any free weight routine or weight machine, but I increase reps and stay toned.  Because of a recent cardiac event I'm having to build back up.  My main point here is that Coreg is a great drug but it does limit physical exercise growth.
