Anyone taking GIP or GLP-1 meds with Camzyos

Thank you @kelliw for sharing with @suzy1111... you were able to give her some really good feedback, and that is so important for others to hear. I appreciate your wonderful incite and your positive attitude! You are a super helper!
I'm glad to hear the Ozempic is helping, and you use it along with Camzyos without problems. That's good to know. I gained 30 pounds not being able to walk/hike be active and even after the open heart surgery I still can't get it to budge! Grrr! I'm working on it, but it's frustrating to say the least when I work at it and get so little reward. Thanks again for sharing, I do so appreciate you! 🙂

I started Camzyos 12 days ago and first week felt amazing now the past few days severe debilitating headaches (.really bad) and feeling really awful. I have been taken off them for a week not sure I will go back in them. Anyone else had these side effects?

Oh sorry to hear about the headaches.
I’ve been on Camzyos since December 7th 2023 and have mercifully had no serious side effects so far except for some weight loss.

I did have a frontal headache on and off the first few week on Camzyos but after my body adjusted to it, they did go away. I’m not sure it was due to the drug or just coincided with the start of it? They were not debilitating however, and resolved with ibuprofen. Good luck to you.

Thank you Debra for your response. Yes that was my first post. I have been a stalker on here for a few months now 😀. I have been on Camzyos since late October. I have not seen much improvement with my shortness of breath upon exertion and I seem to be much more fatigued as well. The weight just keeps piling on and I have no energy to do much because of the fatigue. I am post menopausal and I get what you are saying in that respect completely. I have seen my Dr very recently and she actually gave me the script for the GLP-1 but I am fearful of taking it. I was apprehensive about the Camzyos as well. The drug being so new and not
having much history of interactions with other drugs especially newer ones is concerning. Reading all the posts here has really helped me. I had so much depression and anxiety in the beginning. I thank you so much for mentoring this group. It is really appreciated. I read that you had the septal myectomy. You are brave! My dr really hasn’t discussed that much with me yet. I guess the Camzyos is the first try. I really am not very brave thinking about having to undergo any surgery. I was actually diagnosed years ago but the cardiologist at that time never told me. I had specifically gone to find that out since my mother had been diagnosed as she was going through cancer treatments. I knew it was highly hereditary. It wasn’t until about 7 years later when I was having many unexplained symptoms that another cardiologist reviewed my previous records and asked me if I knew I had HOCM. That explained a lot of my past issues with labored breathing and pain in the chest. I finally am under care of now a 3rd different cardiologist that seems to be really a good dr and fit for me. I think I am going to give the GLO-1 a chance because the extra weight plus some more now is hindering any progress I do make on the Camzyos. I recently had an echo as well which so showed a little set back. I have had all three echos now since staring. Just so Others have a reference point 1st one showed very little improvement, 2nd showed substantial improvement, 3rd showed small set back. I am still hopeful for the future. I started on 5mg and am still on 5. Just fyi to any interested I had no side effects except increased fatigue until month 3 when I started getting really dizzy. As someone else mentioned it is like vertigo not just a dizziness you get from lightheadedness. Sorry I am writing so much. For someone who doesn’t participate in these chat things usually I really talked a lot 😀. Good luck to all and thanks again Debra for being here❤️

Good morning! Yes-I am on Ozempic with my Camzyos. It is working very well! I am down 32 pounds. My cardiologist and primary care physician both thought it would be a great way to help me get my extra weight off as well. I still have a ways to go, but and happily having success! 🙂

That’s awesome to hear! Have u noticed side effects how have u managed? I have appt with my doc this afternoon to discuss this specifically
