Dapagliflozin, be duly warned about this drug!
In May last year after the most recent one of my Blues & Twoes A&E visits as a result of my heart playing up, I was eventually prescribed a whole host of additional medications including the new wonder drug Dapagliflozin which is for diabetes, but it turns out that it also appears to be working wonders

Minor but chronic... Do heart meds or HF effect nostrils?
Minor issue considering ... All this year (months) I have sore scabby nostrils inside. I know its minor but do any of these meds for HF cause it. I do not pick or pluck :) Never had this issue previously. Aged 57. I notice also my nose is cold a lot and my eyes water endlessly. Fingernails get

Difficulties in getting aa good night's sleep
My husband (82) has very recently developed heart problems which are being investigated further. He's on a cocktail of medication including beta blocker, endoxaban, diuretics and dapagliflozin. Big problem is he can get to sleep quite easily but then wakes up with a start after 5 - 10 minutes. He's

Dapagliflozin - any experience?
Hi All, I’ve just been prescribed Dapagliflozin and was wondering what peoples’ experiences with this drug are? My understanding is that it’s only recently been approved for use in heart patients, and is primarily a diabetic drug (I am not diabetic). Anyone got experience with this medication?

Dapagliflozin
Following my Cardiology consult just before Christmas my cardiologist increased the dosage of Bisoprolol, changed my Simvastatin to an increased dose of Atorvastatin, but left my Ramipril as before. New addition to the regime is Dapagliflozin as I am borderline diabetic also. Do any of you take this

LVEF on the increase
Some promising news to share. Heart Nurse asked the Consultant to agree to prescribing Entresto and Dapagliflozin for me. Just over four months later my EF has increased from 33% to 45%. Very pleasing and hope it continues!

... and relax (hopefully)!
Long story ahead! It’s been a few weeks of ‘things’. In early November hubby complained his head was sore, which can mean all sorts since his stroke and not always being able to explain very well. Two days later he had a cluster of little blisters by his eye - shingles. A course of Aciclovar stopped

Migraine aura without the pain
Years ago I occasionally had a migraine, mostly when I was a student, but recently I’ve had almost daily occurrences of experiencing the aura, but no pain. It’s really inconvenient as obviously it affects my eyesight temporarily, if even for only an hour. Just had sight checked with Specsavers, and

SGLT2 new treatment for CDK; anyone on them?
I was listen to a Dr. in a podcast regarding new treatment for CDK. Even though these sodium inhibitors are used for heart patience and diabetics, they are showing promising results for non-diabetics with CKD and proteinuria. "Despite optimal treatment with renin-angiotensin-aldosterone-system (RAAS
