Hi everyone just wanted to introduce myself Im Simon 59 male. I was taken ill on 3rd December chest pain, sweating and feeling sick so took myself to A&E. So a few weeks on and I've been diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation and an under performing heart 35%. I've been taking the heart meds Candesartan and Dapagliflozin for about a week now but have started to get cramp in my left arm as anyone experienced the same.

Hi Simon welcome to the group. I have heart failure and I take dapagliflozin but not the other one. I take entresto. I don’t have cramps with dapa so I’m not sure. We’re all different. Maybe speak to your prescriber about the cramps even your pharmacist, and good luck.
