I posted at another post as well. This post seems more relevant.
I had a widowmaker heart attack back in Dec '23. I now have chf. My docs started me on Repatha in April '24. I am having alot of issues. I just didn't think to look at Repatha as a culprit. Then I stumbled on to these columns. I am stunned! I have always been an on the go, active person. Not anymore. I am having trouble with breathing, muscle and joint pain, exhaustion, sleep all the time. my rls is getting worse, it's hard to walk up stairs, I am developing nuerology in my feet, I am getting sick alot like flues and colds and covid. I had my lungs tested and passed with flying colors. Had an echocardiogram done and altho it listed mild diffuse hypokinesis, my doc says it is not related to my issues. I have been sent to my GP. Going to check with docs to see if I can switch to another drug. My cholesterol is extremely high, so guess I have to do something. So glad to find ya'll so I don't feel crazy!

I’m just curious, in the event you cannot continue Repatha, are you eating fresh organic food, exercising the best you can (off ofRepatga you will begin to be able to exercise again), is your weight normal, getting good sleep? I was told fresh clean organic food, maintain a healthy weight, exercise (start at 2,000 steps a day and work up, I am usually now at 8,000-14,000 a day), sleep. Do you drink sodas? There is a lot you can do.
