Anyone have/had cardiac issues with transplant meds?

@benedict66066,
I think that you are justified to be concerned about some of the side effects that you are experiencing. And you deserve credit for being aware of your body's sensitivity! As we transplant recipients are well aware, we need to take medications to prevent our body from attacking/rejecting your our new organ(s). Our transplant teams' are vigilant in observing our lab results in order to manage the correct combination and dosage of our anti-rejection medications.
In the early days, months, years of my transplant (liver & kidney 2009) I was on the same combination of meds and experienced some side effects that I was concerned about. Over time, as guided by my labs, there were dosage changes and some medication changes. I have always had complete trust in the opinion of my Mayo Clinic transplant team. Here is an article that explains side effects that some recipients might experience.

Will you be having your year annual check-up soon? What do you think about keeping a list to take with you of what/when you are experiencing these symptoms?

Hi Rosemary, Thank you for your attention to these issues and for the article. I appreciate it.
I have been having difficulty with tacrolimus and perhaps also mycophenolate since week 3. The transplant team is aware of my side effects has changed dosages and now have changed my tac to an extended release. I'm interested in others' experience particularly with cardiac issues. It's been a challenge.
My thanks,
Martha’s
