I have this symptom too more recent last several months. I feel best in morning on empty stomach. Go though my day feel fine until afternoon the. I have love/hate relationship with eating now bcz I get a “beer belly”, SOB, chest pain within the hour of eating what most would consider a snack portion. I even had food allergy and gut health tested and elimination diet to see if that was cause of “bloating g and wheezing”. Unfortunately I’m pretty sure this is HF progression 😕 Camzyos didn’t work for me; 2 attempts. It made me feel like my Heart pounding outta my chest walking up in the middle of the night. Upcoming echo and cardio appt. Prayers are appreciated; I feel way too young at 40 something to feel this limited
I have read many threads here on Connect that a lot of HOCM and HCM folks have trouble with eating. Especially high fat/carb loaded meals or large amounts. I know this is true for me as well. I can't speak to the involvement of your mitral valve causing this, but have you thought to put it on a list of questions for next time you see your doctor? How have you been feeling since recently starting Camzyos? Have the unwell feelings after eating gotten better?
