Hi Hans-thank you so much for your response! I am really bummed because I don't want to start feeling horrible again either. I know-we both feel great with things the way they are! It's only been 62 days-but maybe it's better for us to be on the lowest dosage, as long as we keep feeling great. If not, my doctor said I can go back up. He said he had to lower the dose because my gradient numbers are so good now. Anything under 20 needs to be dropped down to 2.5. Please keep in touch and let me know how you are feeling when you switch. I will do the same. I should get the new prescription on Wednesday, I think.

Doc just connected with me and it turns out it's all good news. My echo showed that I've had an excellent response to the medication (which I already knew), to the point that the abnormal gradients of pressure in my heart are now virtually non-existent (wow!). He said this necessitates a dose reduction to ensure they don't over-do it, and there may be further adjustments after each future echo.

So I guess this is just how they determine the optimal dose for me. I'm going to stop worrying now and and go back to basking in my new found health.
