Heart failure etc
I have had heart failure for about three years. (LVF) and haven’t done too badly. Now taking Carvedilol, Entresto (lowest dose) Dapagliflozin. I got a respiratory virus about three weeks ago and now my heart rate is fluctuating up and down about 75–100. What does this mean ? I am feeling very tired

Tiredness, fatigue from Dapagliflozin? Heart failure
Does anyone get seriously tired and/or fatigued soon after taking Dapagliflozin? Because I take many meds for the heart failure, I split morning and evening but take the dapa midday! And soon after on the afternoon is when I am super tired and fatigued which can bring on serious anxiety. I am not sure

Dapagliflozin side effects
I had a heart attack and stent fitted over Christmas 2022 and have been on a cocktail of drugs since then but feel in good health. I went for a follow up angioplasty a couple of months ago and it was found that the heart attack had caused permanent damage to my heart (apparently now only 30% efficient

Blood pressure……need advice.
I have Heart failure and take Carvedilol, Dapagliflozin, Entresto (replaced Ramipril) and Spironolactone. Consequently my bp has dropped very low as required. (102/70) Yesterday and today it has gone up to Around 126/ 80 + Why would that happen ? On same doses and not doing anything differently

covid
I have been taking a bunch of drugs for five years since my heart attack. Now I have tested positive for covid. My wife says she recalls the cardiologist once telling me that if I suffered covid then I should stop taking one of these drugs but does not recall which. I am hesitant to bother the cardiologist

First Post
Hello, First post here, but, I do post elsewhere on HU in heart forums. After reading other posts, I suppose I have a question and curious as to if or when a kidney specialist would become involved in someone's treatment? I'll readily admit I'm a bit ignorant on kidney matters, the heart is probably

Results from scan. 36% ef. Previous scan in Jan 35-40%. no change since start Dapagliflozin/forxiga. Q. How do we improve ef rate?
39 yrs old. Had a suspect heart attack back in 2019 where my ef rate was 12% and was in ICU for 10 days praying for my life and coughing up pink phlegm. All the fun stuff of dying from heart failure. Luckily managed to pull through. Fast forward several years of meds and slow recovery. My ef bounced

Curious
Good morning allHaving had DCM for over six years now and still fit and well I was curious to ask if anyone on Dapagliflozin has issues with raised haemocrit? It's been a long time since posting on here and I've forgotten how useful it can be to all. Hope everyone has a nice day.

tiredness caused by Entresto?
having been diagnosed with Heart Failure last year I was put on revised meds (Entresto, Dapagliflozin, spironolactone), symptoms, improved. After a few months Consultant increased dose of Entresto to the middle dose. Ejection factor had improved from 20/25%, to 39%. . Also replaced Spiro with eplernone
