Congestive Heart Failure
I have congestive heart failure. My injection fraction went from 31% to 40% doing cardiac rehab. But now I'm getting winded more frequently along with heavy fatigue. Some days, I feel weighed down and sad. My cardiologist looks at me like I'm imagining this. I will be going for a second opinion. How can i get a good night sleep, as my heart hurts at night. So therefore I'm tired the next day as I have to go to work.
To the lady that has to work and feel so tied and heart pains at night, how are you doing now? I hate to say you may have to quit working. Hugs.

Advised To Stop Rivaroxaban.
I had a quadruple in March and also experienced AF and so was put on Rivaroxaban.A Cardiologist recently advised me after a 24 hour monitor which showed no AF that I should stop taking Rivaroxaban.He admitted it was a calculated move judging what was more likely a bleed or a stroke.The same monitor also showed that I have a slow heartbeat and so along with the Rivaroxaban the cardiologist advised me to stop taking a 1.25 mg beta blocker.My blood pressure went up immediately and my heart rate… read more
