so I see a heart failure nurse and I have been put on spironolactone, Dapagliflozin and Losartan but according to her I don’t have heart failure she explained it as the left side of my heart isn’t pumping right but I’m more confused than ever, is anyone in the same situation as me?

You should ask what condition it is that you have been diagnosed with specifically, so you can read up on it, and know exactly what it is you have, you have a right to be informed.

Ah yes, I remember (no pun intended) you really ought to start writing these things down. You may want to ask the doctor what your active diagnoses are, and write them down while he says them.
