It's good to be here and read about others.
I had breast cancer about 15 years ago. A few months after I finished chemo and radiation, I had constant heart palpitations. A cardiologist performed some tests and made the diagnosis. He said my problem stemmed from the Adriamycin I had for chemo. For several years I managed with Coreg and Accupril, but my ef declined steadily. For a couple of years, my ef was 20-25; then it decreased to 18. I'm now off Accupril because you can't take it with Entresto. What helps me cope? Good question. Distraction, prayer, helping others, exercising mildly at Cardiac Rehab. Rehab is helpful because you can share your experiences with others who understand and have similar problems. I also take short naps when I'm really tired. I look forward to getting to know everyone and wish you all the best.

Hi everyone,
I just wrote that I've been on Entresto for 4 weeks with no side effects. I may be mistaken, however, and I hope you can give me some insights. For a few weeks, I've noticed pain, especially in my arms and wrists. It's especially bad today. I wonder if it could be due to Entresto. Is there any way I can figure this out? A blood test, maybe? If the pain is from Entresto, I'm really going to be stuck, because it's bad and I'll have to choose between going off it when it might help or living with the pain. I'm in my early 70's and have had slight pains in my wrists for years, but not like this.
