I appreciate Dr. Timimi's explanation. I have a normal EF over 60, but my doctor said I have Diastolic Heart Failure. I had never heard of this before. He has recommended some of the newer meds on the market designed for other conditions (Jardiance, for example). However, my cost is over $1000 per month, and I can't do that. Is there anything else I can do for DHF? I am short of breath on exertion, but I don't know if it is due to the DHF or something else. Like dcain01, I would appreciate hearing about someone's experience with this and what their limitations are and what can be done to help. Thank you!

Hi
What are your meds?
Metopolol was stopped for the 2nd time because of breathless on exertion. I said NO at the 2nd try. The 24hr Heart Monitor gave me pauses at night on my normal 47avg bpm.

It should not be used in asthmatics or probably folks who have eczena.

I was stopped on ACE Inhibrace earlier and Lo.............. took out proteins.

I have AF rapid and persistent.
