I apologize for this timely delay on responding! You're so welcome and yes you're probably going to still deal with fatigue that's just one of the symptoms of heart issues unfortunately. Just take it slow and easy while trying to adjust to a new way of living. Thank you for your support and I pray that you begin to feeling better as you travel on this journey. God blessings πŸ™

Thank you. It has been working, but I after walking for only 1 1/2 blocks yesterday I had some pressure and shoulder pain and it scared me. I really don't want to double the dose until I absolutely have to. Thank you for your answer. I pray it continues to work for you. Mary✝️
