Anyone have input on living with symptoms from cardiomyopathy?
Heart & Blood Health | Last Active: Jun 25, 2023 | Replies (43)Comment receiving replies
I have blockages in veins around heart, no doubt caused by calcium and cholesterol. I am being treated with blood thinners, beta blocker, statin and hypertension medicine. I take a diuretic 2 to 3 times weekly. I doubt camzyos is available in my country, but it has too many risks for me. Im reluctant to try it. My Doctor is a cardiologist and she is in partnership with the professor of cardiology in Johannesburg.

Well, @sueq447, it sure sounds like you are in good hands then. I'm sorry you have so many things going on. It's like we need a pill for this, and then that happens, so we need another pill for that and on it goes. I don't blame you for being reluctant to try yet another drug. Camzyos is not for everyone, but for those who have seen remarkable results, it has changed their lives. There are some things we have control over, like what we eat, how active we are and our attitude. But HCM isn't one we can control with diet or exercise.
How do all these issues affect your ability to be active? Are you able to get out and enjoy nature in or around Johannesburg? What is the weather like there this time of year?
