Why Camzyos instead of surgery?

I was on verapamil for many years after HCM diagnosis with no side effects (can't remember the dosage, maybe 25mg once daily). From the time when conditions made it essential for further intervention, I was prescribed a much higher dosage (200 mg twice a day? I don't remember). The result was a side effect that Metamucil and a high fiber diet barely helped.

What happened after the med side effect? Did you go off verapamil and on to something else? Did you go onto Camzyos or have surgery. It is really just hitting me that this is going to be a journey. Do you know if all of us "progress" unless we have surgery? I know everyone is different and we don't know the future but information on "progression" is difficult to come by. Information on improved lifestyle other than moderate exercise and healthy eating, is also hard to come by. I already do both of those things and am getting better and better at the dietary changes - anything else you might suggest?
