Drugs like Enalapril and Candesartan, while often thought of as medications for treating high blood pressure, also have a proven role in the treatment of congestive heart failure. If your father is feeling unwell, and you think it is related to the medications, you should have him seen by his doctor. Also, be sure to mention to his doctor any over-the-counter supplements that he may be taking.
I am in the same boat as you. I had mine in 97. I too am having no symptoms. if you have gotten any answers since January let me know.
I have not heard of EECP, and I will certainly research it and review it with my cardiologist. You are correct in assuming that I use a regimen of drugs to treat my heart failure, including lots of nitro throughout the day. I still exercise daily, but if I try to stretch it, my symptoms are appear, and my blood sugar spikes as a result of the stress on the heart ( or so I think). It is not uncommon in these circumstances to have my blood sugar go into the 400's.
There are doctors forums where you can ask an expert your question. If you go to the top where it says forums pick Doctors Forums. This forum is generally attended by patients only. You should also probably seek out a doctor in your area to go see to be evaluated in person. That said, palpitations don't necessarily mean anything. the heart has to be evaluated to know exactly what it is you are feeling and if what you are feeling is dangerous to your heart.
Im laying in a hospital bed at Baylor All Saints Hospital in Plano Tx. Im on a transplant list right now they have me on a heart pump until I get a transplant or I should say IF i get one.

Hi all,
Before I start, I should state that I am not looking for a diagnosis here, it would be idiotic of me to even think about asking for one given that no one here knows my medical history.
What concerns me is this - for the last couple of years, I have been having spells of tachycardia and now have a resting heart rate of 110-130bpm. This constant tachy state leaves me tired and breathless.
Heart failure is a condition in which the heart’s ability to supply the body with the blood is impaired. It causes a variety of symptoms that worsens gradually, thus interfering with the daily activities.
Despite the deterioration of heart function and the seriousness of the condition, heart failure is not an irreversible condition. It can be treated if the patient provides enough compliance to his medicines.
You really need your doctor to give you an explanation about your report. Your report indicates that a portion of your heart is not beating properly and your heart is not pumping efficiently. Did your report give an ejection fraction (EF%) by chance? That would help.
In any case, no one here is qualified to tell you the implications of your report, please see your doctor.
My Patty was diagnosed with Heart Failure 10 days ago, he had been doing pretty good, not liking taking his meds but now he is NOT wanting to eat and when we make it liquid and squirt it down his throat, it has started coming back up. He has no problem drinking and peeing. He is a month over 15 years old and my precious baby. Any ideas out there, he goes back to his dr in 2 days but I am about sick, his mom died of kidney failure and I hate to think this is happening to him.
Heart failure indicates the heart is not pumping enough blood/oxygen to meet the systems demand. If the heart failure is due to heart muscle damage from a heart attack, muscle disease, etc., the condition may not get any better but can be controlled with medication and reduce any progression.
Sometimes, as in my case, five years ago I had ischemiac (lack of blood flow) from occluded vessels and a silent heart attack. The heart cells were stunned and impaired the contractions (EF 13-29%).
first off i would not assume that you have heart failure because you are obviously in good physical shape by working out as you say you have been and continue to do so at some level...my advice to you would be to get a professional opinion with a good heart doc and make an educated decision based upon their diagnosis .....for all of us it is not a good idea to self diagnose and can actually hurt us physically as well as emotionally....good luck my friend....
I have health anxiety so I’m terrified I have heart failure. She said it’s asthma But my Inhaler doesn’t help and my breathing treatment only brought me from 73% to 75% on my lung function test. She did an ekg and it came back abnormal saying I have horizontal axis for age and Abnormal precordial QRS contours-nondiagnostic for this age. She literally said “I don’t know what that means but if you have heart failure you wouldn’t be able to breathe when lying down.
No one here can possibly tell you its okay for your friend to take a non-prescribed opiate. He needs to ask his doctor about this. Good luck.
All who suffer from heart disease have a statistically higher risk of a heart failure than does the general population who do not have heart problems. This is true too as we go into higher age groups, the older one is the more likely they will experience a physical failure of some type or another.
I suffer from AFib myself and know I am at higher risk for additional heart problems, and for stroke even though I take an anticoagulant (Warfarin).
