Hello my first post. My Cardiologist put me on lowest dose of Entresto to take 2 X a day Heart Failure/ MVP. I was then to add Carvedilol 3.125mg the following week 2 X day. Stooped Entresto the third day due to SE. Carvedilol no better!! Balance issues, vertigo, sleepiness, vision issues. Ended up in ER. Thought I was having T.I.A. or Heart Attack. Mind you my BP runs Low Normal. Not High. Have history of two cancers. First one Leukemia 1981 had Bone Marrow Transplant. Chemo and Total Body Radiation. Then BC 2007. Have many ‘late effects’ from all the TX’S. So I stopped taking Carvedilol on my own two days ago. I have only been taking it once a day at night. One 3.125mg little pill. I was also on Rosuvastatin 5mg since April 2023, 3 days week for DX of Cholesterol. Note, have bad Neuropathy, feet fingers hands. Always thinking from radiation , that was so long ago. And last Chemo TX for BC was 2/5/2008.
Neuropathy did not start until 4/11/2011. Three years later!
Statins can cause Neuropathy and make existing Neuropathy worse! So I have been racking my brain, why did it go down hill and has been getting so worse since summer, June of 2023? Bam! I started the Statin Drug Rosuvastatin that April and five months ago I decided to, like my Dr. Wanted me to do to get my Cholesterol even lower go from taking 5mg three days a week take it every day! I truly believe, based on what I researched last night, the Rosuvastatin has worsened my neuropathy. Thoughts?
Also, Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with water has lowered Cholesterol levels.

Thank you and I apologize for the long post. I am at my wits end.
