Yes, same...Started 5 mg Camzyos in October and had already been on Metoprolol. Felt good for a few weeks then the room started to spin. Went for echo and doc appt, gradient was good so reduced to 2.5 mg and taking it at bedtime instead of morning. Dizziness subsided greatly. However, sleep interrupted by bizarre nightmares, heart beating in my head as I try to sleep, heart rate in the 90's (has always been upper 70's to 85). I am a type 2 diabetic. I know it's not the right thing to do but I skip breakfast and dinner often...Don't want to deal with stomach pain immediately after eating. Weight is dropping but belly protruding. Fatigue. I am pushing through it and hoping to get on the other side of it. Next echo and doc appt in early summer. I know it is discouraging...
I find that distracting myself is helpful...reading an enjoyable book, sitting a few minutes in the sun, a quiet visit to church, a nice herbal tea or steaming cup of coffee, lunch with a long-time friend, going through my phone looking at happy friend/family photos, a bouquet of flowers on the kitchen counter, sending cards to folks I know or don't know, preparing a big kettle of soothing soup, hugging an old childhood stuffed animal...
Blessings to you...one day at a time...Christina

@christine270 I just started 2 days ago on 5 mg. What you are going through sounds discouraging. I think you should get back to the heart doctor asap. Prayers for you.
