@lenmayo , I’m sorry about your mother. Do you mind saying what her heart issue was originally? Or did she just start with arrhythmia trouble? And, how long did she have her symptoms?

My dad had afib after cardiovascular issues, heart attack, quadruple bypass, stents, etc. He treated his Afib successfully with meds then cardioversion.

Now, my mom who is 84 is having issues. Abnormal 2 week heart monitor results, has fatigue, flutter, prescribed Diltiazem until return appointment. I’m anxious until then. My mom has medication anxiety, so……..

My mother was on prescription strength Naproxen for arthritis.
Over time it made a hole in her duodenum which she had emergency patched.
The result was congestive heart failure. She was taking the two drugs -a vasodilator to open her arteries and one to make her heart beat stronger. She kept returning to the hospital for stabilization. She kept getting weaker and didn't make it home the last trip.
