I had HF last June and eventually put on Entresto dose of 24/26. Yesterday saw Cardiologist and he suggested increasing dose to 49/51. My EF is unchanged at 40% and BP 120/60. Overall I feel well for my age.at 86. I turned down the offer and he said he would not push me.
This morning walked some 2 miles, with hills and felt very tired Did I make a mistake? Would appreciate any thoughts. Thank you
Lots of things to be taken into account by you - as we dont know you.
If the walk was more strenuous or longer than usual
If you are used to walking
If the tiredness was exceptional
If you had had a meal before walking
If you were well hydrated
If your other blood tests were normal (e.g. iron level just as an example).
Just think it through, talk to someone who knows you if possible.
Thank you Rosie. I may have answered my own question as it also cleared my mind . John
My Thoughts - At 86, you walked 2 Miles plus Up Hills. Entresto or not, I think you are doing 'Wonderfully Well and Good For You'. I think that's Brilliant 😀 😊 Well Done!
Thank you , John
Aww, you're very welcome John. Keep it up! 😊
well done. My cardiologist said for me to try upping it also, alas I couldn’t tolerate it. I would like to know what the advantage is with increasing it. Even if we were to go off it.p
The reason we take it is it is adressive to blood pressure that’s what I was told and I am on max dose
I have been on it for 5 yrs blood pressure is normal have bloods taken every six months at GP and ecg
John I have heart failure in 80 I took up Nordic pole walking last October as was told it is beneficial for heart failure
