cardiomegaly and congestive heart failure Posted: 02-16-08 14:55pm
I am
a 37 year old male that was diagnosed 10
months ago with cardiomegaly. In the last
10 months Ive been to the E.R. 3 times for
congestive heart failure. This is still
all so new to me and my cardiologist hasnt
been very informative as to what I should
be doing other than not smoking.
Everything I know now about my condition I
have had to learn doing my own research.
My echocardiogram came up with an EF=25% .
I am currently taking lasix 40 mg, digitek
25 mg, hyzaar 12/50, and antenolol 20 mg,
the antenolol doesnt mix very well with
me, it makes me feel bloated and at times
makes it harder to breath since I had
asthma as a kid. To make everything even
worse, because of the financial hardship
of becoming disabled, I am know homeless.
If there is anything you might be able to
tell me to help me out with my situation
it would be greatly appreciated, thanks,
John
