@brumasterj Thanks. I too was pretty active before HCM hit me as well. I used to scuba dive, go on hikes with the wife and dogs, and even enjoy working in the flower beds pulling weeds (maybe not that) 😀. I have been on Camzyos for almost two years and it has given relief, especially as I have stepped up the dosage, but it never relieved the symptoms. I’m so ready to stop thinking about my heart issues, being out of breath and dizzy at times, but even feeling the beating and skips of the heart. The septal myectomy procedure sounds pretty straightforward along with recovery in the hospital. As you know with HCM you always seem tired and not able to feel recharged even when resting from a day off of work. So I know recovery at home will take some time but not looking forward to having unwanted pain and all this walking after surgery I’m hearing about. It’s part of it I know but…are there any things I can do to help speed it along?

Oh also curious, stopping Camzyos prior to the procedure did HCM symptoms seem to get worse than prior to starting? I have four weeks to surgery and trying to figure how things might be before then. Thanks

@brumasterj I am sorry to read that you are having a complication. Our lucky hearts had traumatic experiences and this, too, I am sure will be dealt with successfully. Keep us informed.
