Very similar here however i am at 10mg. My gradient with Valsalva is 20. My septum is 1.9cm. 10 months on Camzyos and i try to bike 6 miles three times a week at about 12-13mph. I avoid hills. If i push too much I pay for it the next day. I feel frustrated as I am wondering if I am just kicking the can and if it's really more related to my diastolic dysfunction than the obstruction. However, I am guessing that the obstruction is greater with exercise. I certainly notice greater symptoms after I eat. Some have told me that they have had their Dr add Jardiance to the cocktail. This is something I am going to ask at my next visit. However, with HOCM we need to be careful with any sort of direretic as it can trigger obstruction. I worry that a septal reduction will not do anything for me- if they would even suggest it given my obstruction is now being controlled by Camzyos. I do remain a little confused and I am just staying the course-

I think each of us are built so differently in many ways and handle medications in different ways. My obstruction becomes greater with greater stress on my exercise. That was shown on my echo i would have to do body squats to get it back over 30mmHg
Im off camzyos now 1 full week and starting to gradually become symtomatic again
Which was expected while waiting septal myectomy next month.
Dr. Dearani said after my surgery he believes i will feel 20 years younger!
Best of luck to you!
