What next after a high brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) score?

Curious what klh did to strengthen heart muscle. I have CFS so I'm somewhat limited. Walking 5 minutes five times a day is what I've been advised to do. My BNP bounces up to the mid 500's and comes down to the 100's
for no discernible reason. I also have CKD 3a-3b which can cause BNP numbers to rise. No one does much
about this other than watch blood test levels. Any suggestions anyone has would be appreciated since it seems
the area is a bit of a free-for-all.Thanks in advance for any input. Also want to say Mayo articles on BNP are the
best I've read so far and do help explain the situation. BUT, where's the cure?

@petuniamom567 I have not done much for my heart muscle that I know of. Docs put me on all these new meds and the side effects are awful. So far have stopped three of them. I am still in the same boat. I do not get much done as I should. I am to have an echo to check my progress as to the function of my heart muscle. Hopefully, some improvement will show. If you have found out any new information, I would like to hear from you. BP is still running low in the morning and the evening. I wished I was better help to you. If like me tired of feeling this way most of the time. Stay healthy and well. KLH

How are you doing?
