HCM Fatigue and Poor Sleep - What Can I Do?

Same thing happened to me sleeping only 4 hours after starting 5 mg camzyos.
I am taking a shower in the afternoon that helps me relax then I take a nap in the afternoon for about 2 more hours which helps a lot.
My first echocardiogram showed the pressure in my heart when down from 195 mm Hg to only 12 mm Hg in only 3 weeks and a half. Since then that I saw that big progress, I am able to sleep now 6 to 6.5 hours per day and I still take a 1 hour nap in the afternoons. This is not fixing the problem but is helping.
In other words, trying to relax and not being worried about my severe HCM since camzyos is working really well is allowing me to sleep better now (not as much as I want but at least I can sleep 6 hours a day which is not too bad).
I hope this helps you. Try to relax and remain positive.

I appreciate your feedback, Manuel. It always feels better when someone else can corroborate what one person may be going through that is new and different. I have to say that overall, I am truly amazed by this new medication and I am grateful to be able to have access to it. I will be able to relax more about it now that I know it is part of the normal process.
Can I ask if you anyone else has heart issues like HCM in your family? I know my mother had cardiomyopathy and I have one sister that has AFib. Thanks so much for responding to me. Debra
