i am on 5mg of bisoprolol and 5mg ramipril once a day and Apixaban 5mg twice a day but only recently the echocardiograph scan showed Aortic regurgitation, my stroke doctor says things are worse since my last echocardiograph WHY ??? ARE MY MEDS TOO LOW DOSAGE ???.... SO FAR I HAVE ATRIAL FRIBULATION, ,DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY WITH IMPAIRED LV FUNCTION CARDIOEMBOLISM. MY HEART STILL FLUTERS ITS HORRID FEELING

This must be a worry for you. Have you seen your cardiologist since this echo?

My husband was recently told his aortic valve disease had got worse from the measurements on an echo done at a different hospital from usual. His cardiologist was not convinced they'd changed that much. When you have several conditions getting medication right is a balancing act and it is also necessary to get a combination that makes you feel as well as possible.

Sometimes although we are part of our health care team, we have to have faith that all their years of training and experience count for something and our doctors will do their best for us
