Congratulations on starting. It took me months to get everything in line to start taking the drug. I don’t know if I would have moved forward without the support and insights of the wonderful, caring people in this support group.
Listen to your body and be vigilant. Reach out to your cardologist if you have symptoms. I started to feel crappy around the end of the second week. Had an echo done (trust but verify) and everything was fine. My cardologist told me I should start to feel better once the drug built up in my system. My heart rate is still up and I am still fatigued; but the lightheadedness is gone. Overall, I am feeling better now.
Praying for you!

Thank you so much for the encouragement! When you started feeling bad at the end of the 2nd week, how long did it take for those symptoms to subside? I am currently on day 4 and my husband planned a two week vacation with me at the end of next week, which would put me near the end of my second week. We’re staying fairly close because I’m too nervous to be too far away from my drs, but I’m wondering if I should just tell him ‘let’s have a staycation’ lol. And what kind of symptoms did you have while you were feeling bad?
