Still working on solving the sleepless problem. Weather not permitting outside walks except occasionally. I do walk treadmill, store aisles too. Helps to know I’m not the only one. Still, very thankful to have Camzyos which has made a huge difference in my health and daily life.

I have been on Camzyos for 9months plus Metropolol, Diltiazem, Clopiderol, Atorvastatin heart meds. Getting to sleep and staying asleep is a problem I’ve not solved either. Sometimes a bowl of cereal in the early hours when I can’t sleep seems to help.

That seems like way too many drugs especially since camzyos interacts with some of them ay Dialtiazem, they made me stop taking that before i took Camzyos for that reason. Talking to your oharmacist about drug interactions

After I was diagnosed with HCM, my doctor tested my son and brother for the “indicator” they may have for same condition that might develop in their future. Both tested negative therefore, my grandchildren did not need to be tested. I have not known anyone in my family to have had this condition although my father died of a massive heart attack of unknown specifics. .
