CRT pacemaker
Hi everyone, this is my first post. I've been diagnosed with LBBB and am due to have a CRT pacemaker in the next few weeks (hopefully). I had no symptoms and it was only diagnosed following a pre-op assessment for a hip replacement I should have had in February - now postponed until the heart is stable

Dapagliflozin, entresto. Has anyone been on these long term and actually felt improvements from these meds?
Feeling sleepy off the Dapa and always brain fog and spaced out from the entresto. Finding it difficult to see the benefits at times when feeling like this. Walking down the street feeling like the ground is moving or on a wave. Is there a good long term outlook for heart failure and these meds? Anyone

Tinnitus and heart fialure? Is this a common side effect to the meds or linked to heart failure? Who gets it or has worsened since HF?
I have had tinnitus since my army days in my early 20s. Obviously its more noticeable on a night time and it is bad if you focus on it. Now in my late 30s and having heart attack and heart failure i have noticed it getting worse. Real loud! Almost to a point where i hear loud birds or sounds going off

How to talk so my consultant will listen - advice please 🙏
Since my diagnosis, I’ve had ongoing cardiac symptoms but they seem to have grown in frequency since mid January. I have had a couple of reviews with my GP and the decision was taken to stop my dapagliflozin - fine. Additionally, my presyncope symptoms have been getting worse and it’s now been recommended

Medication question: Dapagliflozin (SGLt2). I think this is also called farxiga and other names
Hi everyone, hope you all are well. I am doing alright since my first diagnosis back in Nov 2022. My last Creat(about a month agao) was 2.39 with EGFR at 36. Pretty much the same. I was wondering if any one is taking Dapagliflozin. My Neph recommended it and says might help in proteninuria. I
