I am have CHF, Cardiomyopathy, and LBBB , I currently take Faxiga, and Metropolo 75mg, I could not tolerate 100mg, I had an echo, with EF the same at 40% and I actually did a little worse on the treadmill, we are trying a 2nd trial of Entrest with 1/2 of the lowest dose twice a day, since starting I am breathless with very little activity and so fatigued, I feel very different than before Entresto, the Dr is talking about a possible pacemaker even though my EF is 40% but we trying meds first, she wants an hemodymanic treadmill test to check the blood flow in my heart when the LBBB is present when my heart rate goes above 100. I talked to the cardio nurse today and I am just so frustrated! Anyone have any experience with this?

I know how you feel because Entresto did the same thing to me.

@denisern I had almost the same experience. Entresto was the first med tried but after 10 days it was stopped and put on Lisenphril and soon took me off of that. Now, I am on Amiodarone with side effects also. Like you, I am breathless with very little activity and fatigued. I do not get much done around the house but laundry. We eat out two meals a day. I am frustrated like you yet the meds I take lower my already low BP which does not help. Also, I am dizzy and my balance is not so great. Hope you do not have all the side effects I do. I try to do a little more each day but sometimes this is hard. I hope you find some answers that will help. Please keep me informed of your progress. KLH
