Anyone had to go off mavacamten ? Any side affects after stopping

Posted by maree56 @maree56, Apr 10, 2024

I have been on mavacamten for nearly 4 months my heart Doctor decided to take me off.
Just wondering if anyone else done this and any problems or side effects after.
Thanks Maree

I was on it for a year but felt worse on it than off. I was dizzy every day, most of the day, every time I stood up I had to use something for balance. My BP was dramatically low, I was cold all the time, no energy at all, and it wasn't showing any improvement on my Echos. I'm off now, scheduled for a myectomy in 5 weeks, my energy is coming back and my BP is more normal. I have noticed my heart palpitations have come back with a vengeance but overall I feel much better off it.

I am glad to read that you decided to take the next step. Where will you have your septal myectomy? Have you read the posts that many of us have written about our experiences? Wishing you a speedy recovery.
