Hi @boatsforlife. Thank you so much for the great information you kindly provide about camzyos. I am 63 years old and the Cardiologist certified to prescribe camzyos will see me on March 8th. I know is the only medicine that help to improve the HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy). I understood the hiccups here and there can be nausea, vomiting and/or dizziness. I wonder if the doctor can prescribe me some anti nausea or anti dizziness or I cannot have any since camzyos is very sensitive and may interact with that. I have very high blood pressure normaly in the high range. I wonder if the hiccup can affect raising even more the blood pressure.

Thank you so much and I am very happy camzyos is working really well for you. All blessings to you!

Hello @manuelpo. In my case the hiccups were very minor, and not the type you mentioned. When first on the drug at 5mg, I had 2 or 3 one-day events in which it felt like all of my normal oHCM symptoms were back but by the next day those symptoms were completely gone again. In the first couple weeks at 10mg, I had 2 brief episodes (a minute or two each) in which I experienced terrible, full-body joint pain. that came out of nowhere and then disappeared just as quickly. It may have had nothing at all to do with Camzyos. I've been charting my blood pressure almost daily since before starting Camzyos and it hasn't changed appreciably. Other than those few incidents I have have no negative side effects whatsoever. Best wishes for success - I hope you have good results!
