hello @sophieshor : your story has some matches with mine, quite similar, of course not 100 %.!!. Not to spite I can mention the treatment I got ,apart from other drugs, like beta-blocker . I described it in some posts / mayo connect, The cardiologist gave me Digitoxin, which is a very old medication, but now the cardiologists deal with this preparation again. I would recommend you to ask your cardiologist. I know that it ist available in the USA . maybe you can look it up in the medical literature, otherwise I can explain the effects of digitoxin on your heart. My heart improved definitely.

Do not be afraid of higher doses of medications that lower the blood pressure. Are bodies are amazing! If your meds are titrated slowly (very slowly), your body adjusts and the BP might stay stable. If your BP goes down, you go back to the lower doses and later try again.
