I have been lucky with Coreg too, knock on wood, since it brought me out of heart failure too. I was at 27%EF and now around 48-55%
I was doing as much exercise and my RA permits and would find that I would get SOB as well and I wondered if this is just part if having DCM? Have you had that too?
I wonder if its just the way it is. I have had SOB sometimes without exertion and even felt like I was going to faint the other day while lying down. I told my doc that and he is going to do another heart monitor to check rhythm.
So, I am curious.
Also, did you ever have to have surgery for non heart related things after improving from DCM? I have to for my shoulder and am nervous even tho I have cardiac clearance.
Thanks
I wear a continuous heart monitor and keep my heart rate below 130. I mostly just walk now and stairmaster on a low level. My EF has been as low as 32-35% but it improved after starting the medications.
I can't comment on your question but you give me hope as you have survived so long with this condition.I was diagnosed recently iwth the same condition and my ef is much lower.how do you know how much exercise you can do?
