Entresto side effects

I am on the higher dose now but just before my right hand and middle finger felt stiff and since has been quite painful and swollen. Doctor took bloods and no sign of rheumatoid arthritis. I need to speak to her again. Now the heart failure team have got me on the higher dose they have put me on the 'pending' list. I also get aches in my shoulders and legs. Feeling nauseous, stomach upsets. Has anyone else had problems with sneezing and having to blow their nose?

Hello

I take entresto stuck on middle dose Heart Nurse won't increase it due to Blood Pressure and Heart Rate. I do take a 7.5mg Bisoprolol which is frequently increased to 10mg until things settle down again !! then reduced back to 7.5mg.

I have noticed my fingers are very stiff in the morning and my index finger on both hands have developed into a "trigger finger" which will lock and then release not really painful just a pain. I did have a Steroid injection to try to fix it but didn't do much good. I just put it down to getting older !!

Just out of curiosity what do you have pending ??

Hi well I think what they mean't was discharging me but with the option to call them if I get problems that the GP can't resolve. All blood tests will be at my surgery and my GP in charge of medication.
