Re: Oh no, my heart!
My Cardiologist put me on Coreg and Lisenipril to help support the heart muscle when I had a drop three years ago, I believe there are others on the board who have also been given meds for the heart. I was off Vitamin H for 3months, then went back doing weekly doses.
Last week I got extremely ill, think food poisoning may have started the episode, I was admitted to the hospital and they did an echo which was 35 so now I am on another Vitamin H break.
Has anyone out there had to come off twice? If so were you able to rebuild your heart strength enough to go back on Herceptin?
Your Cardiologist should be able to help you get the function back quickly so don't worry yet.
Best Wishes,
Pat
