Positive effect of cardio drugs for heart failure

Hi, I’m on 10mg of Dopi…….. and just increased my entresto to optimal dose. 97/103 on Friday. So far so good.

yes, I have had thrush (treated with Canastan) and I have had diarrhoea, and a few other symptoms but they have all settled. I took my time getting to optimal dose of entresto. Over 4 weeks before I got here. Stayed on middle dose 2 weeks or just over. I definitely feel the benefit. No breathlessness. Sleeping better and feeling of overall wellness. I appreciate not everyone can get to higher dose if these drugs as we are all different. Iv just had an MRI and now awaiting CT angiogram and calcium counting. I really hope you progress well on these meds as they do make a big difference. Regards A

I'm due to start on the highest does of entresto tomorrow. Feeling a bit apprehensive to be honest worried it will make my blood pressure very low. I've been on middle dose since October all OK so fingers crossed! I hope you continue to feel well ❤️
