I have Heart failure LV cardiomyopathy. I take 12.5 mg carvedilol and came of lisinopril because of diahoria. Now on ramipril have reduced to 2.5mg once a day instead of twice a day because of low Bp. Hopefully I will feel better soon. Back to see cardiologist next week after 3 maths on meds. I know the meds are to help me lead a normal life as possible but I feel worse since taking them. I am waiting to see specialist for my liver which as lesions on it this was found when I had mri for my heart. I am hoping for some positive news next week fingers crossed for me.

I know what you mean I hate taking tablets I've gone from someone who rarely took a paracetamol to taking 7 different tablets a day I hate it the thought of taking them forever does my head in even though I know they are helping me

I know I have been lucky for my heart failure to be found some are not so lucky. I try not to get down but sometimes its hard. Will be glad when I have my appt. for the specialist then I can start to except things more and concentrate on the future.
