I am 57 and I've been getting Zometa for 6 years. I am on many of the same meds as you and have a heart condition, as well. Zometa is not used just for osteoporosis, but for many conditions. You need to ask your doctor to explain his reasoning for giving you the Zometa and how he feels it will benefit you. The medicine, for me at least, does not cause any severe side effects. A little leg cramping or abdominal cramping is the worst. Occasionally, I will get a headache. I get it to strenghten my bones to make it harder for bone lesions to form because of multiple myeloma. So far, it has worked well for me. Bottom line, you need to get your doctor to explain more fully to you why he feels you need Zometa.
