Hi, sorry to hear you're struggling at the moment. A week post stenting and new meds is still early days, give yourself time to recover and re adjust. I'm 16 months down the line with cardiomyopathy and still finding my feet. If you're on beta blockers they can take some getting used to, so talk to your doctors or nurses and make sure everything is ok and take some reassurance from it. Reading posts on here from people with experience and knowledge helped me a lot. Wishing you all the best 🤙

I agree with Saltwaterman. Good points.

I was also told the heart seems to dislike being messed about with, it can take a little time to settle down.
