Heart Problem treatment

Hi I went to a cardologist first, My Onc said she was not trained for the heart. We did a mugga and not a stress test till later.... my heart was too bad. I was put on:
Lasix 20mg
Digoxin .25
spironolactone 25mg,
Diovan 80mgm
coreg 25mgm gradually raised now on 100mgm daily
Magnesium at night
Potassium Cl 10meq
Furosemide 40mg
Also had Sleep apnea test and on 2 liters O2 at night
with cpap at 9.
I slept up in a chair for about 3 months,
I had lots of rest!!! Was unable to go to
any higher elevation
I am doing fine and my test are good. I was
back on Herceptin in 4 months time.
best advice see a cardiologist. there are many
of us back on it after CHF
Hugs and good luck
Marilyn
