I to can't take the medication that the Dr have prescribed I have tried all of them, and had a failed Septel Myectomy 10 months ago.
I find myself watching what I eat no pasta no carbs at all I eat smaller portion, as I have put weight on I walk everyday I drink plenty of fluids .
I get tired very quickly but I find myself fighting everyday to enjoy my life and try not to let it get me down and it's hard.
I think the hardest part is feeling depressed that I didn't get the answers to why it came back .
So keep your mind focused it's hard but it helps.
I hope this helps..

@holly1275 I am so sorry to read that you had a failed septal myectomy 10 months ago. That truly stinks! You and your heart deserve to know why it came back (so quickly) and all the options that are available to you. Here is some food for thought to help you think about this. There was another person who contributed to the discussion several months ago who also had a failed septal myectomy done at a non-COE (Center of Excellence). She got her courage up and went to Mayo for a second surgery, a successful outcome followed! Another contributor who wrote that it came back, her input was that the Mayo doctors said it was very unusual, I believe she, too, had further surgery. Have you considered another opinion? Let us know how you are coming along.
