Re: Heart function decresed
Denise - happy birthday!! Hope your visit went well with the cardiologist?
I just went to see my GP and he was about to prescribe a drug similiar to yours but I could use the high blood pressure aspect of it however he decided to wait until my next echo to see if it comes back up on its own so we can def say its the Herceptin. I have been having strange pains and tightness in the chest area also some dizziness so we will wait and then see. I do have a referral for a cardiologist as well so again wait and see.....
Thank you everyone for responding its good to know you're not alone especially when things go a bit bumpy!
