    I’m on Entresto, cadivolol, Jardiance, and Rosuvastatin & also just got a pace maker implanted still not feeling too good. I’m always dizzy now and super tired, can’t sleep no desire to do anything anymore. I hope in due time I can bounce back to half way feeling good. Are these medications a good combo? Has anyone been on these meds? My heart is working at 25% unfortunately guess that’s why I’m so extra tired. Ugh this really does suck I’m only 45 yrs old 😔

      Looks like you're on the right regimen. I'm also on spironolactone. I read something about arjuna bark powder which I received today. I also saw a TH-cam video on Barostim therapy which I shall ask my doc about. Sounds promising. I was 50 when my EF was 23%. It went back up to 35% with the right pill regimen and then because they had to take out and replace my whole ICD I am now back to 25%. But I had a good run as I'm now 64.

      You probably should be on a diuretic as well - spironolactone or torsemide
      Stick with it, diet, exercise and the right drugs will help get you back on your feet. Watch the sodium intake and walk, walk a lot - the more you exercise the less fatigue and the better you will feel oddly ❤

    This is interesting, I'm on an ACE2 inhibitor and still have a bit of a coughing problem still, and it seems they reduce arterial inflammation as well as the other reported functions.
    My heart rate was in the range of 50-68 before I was on beta blockers, now it's 58-78 which is interesting given what's presented here. The beta blocker also (I believe) is responsible for relaxing my stomach's upper sphincter resulting in me needing to take an ion pump inhibitor due to continuous indigestion in the absence thereof. Another side effect I noticed was that I was given a corticosteroid while recovering from COVID and the combination gave me 24hr hiccups (every 5-10 seconds), I had to stop the steroid because I couldn't sleep and it was really painful after a while.
    I also take a diuretic called Moduretic that works so well that I take 1/4 tablet of the smallest available lest my BP gets so low that I'm dizzy sitting down. I've tried various others and they do not agree with me (rapid heart rate between 90-130).

    I take almost all of the medications mentioned. My ejection fraction fell from 60% in 2013 to between 25% and 35% in November 2023. I was admitted to hospital (UK) with increasing shortness of breath and put on this cocktail of drugs, also including Rosuvastatin. That was about six weeks ago. I was discharged after five days on the acute cardiac ward and since I started on the new medication regimen I feel considerably better. I used to get out of breath just climbing the short flight of stairs in my house. Now I can go for a one mile walk without problems. As far as I'm concerned, these meds are wonder drugs! It's a bit of a hassle every morning, and to some extent before bed, doling out each of ten* medications, but I'm a 77-year-old retired computer programmer, so I can approach the challenge in a consistent manner, with tracking charts, even little programs I've written for myself. It's the only way, otherwise it would be too easy to miss one or other medication.
    * Ten also includes non-heart-related medications such as Tamsulosin for enlarged prostate and Lansoprazole.

      Ashwaganda has several positive benefits, particularly in conrolling how the body releases stress hormones like cortisol. You raise an important topic, there are so many products sold that report to have benefits, many do not have any definite evidence. We will have a video on top 'natural' products and a review of these.

      Great question, we have several options slowly emerging for heart failure with preserved heart function, the basics of diuretics are important to control symptoms managing underlying conditions e.g. high blood pressure, valve disease,, obesity, obstructive sleep apnea are critical. Medications like SGLT2/gliflozins are showing some benefits too. Thanks for suggesting this topic for an upcoming video!

      Thank you! Losartan is an angiotensin 2 receptor blocker drug that is included in the top 7. Amiodarone is a drug to help control the rate and rhythm of the heart but no prognostic benefit in improving outcomes directly from heart failure. Eliquis is a blood thinner that may be often needed but again, does not improve the strength of the heart.
