Wow, Bunrab, you're a dynamo! And yeah, make haste slower, ok? Wouldn't want to lose you. Looking forwards to the pics.
Me, I'm having a bit of a falling out with my cardiologist. I finally told him no more Coreg. I couldn't do anything while on that stuff. So he told me 'Ok, Metaprolol then.' and wrote me a prescription. Bad, bad move on his part. He didn't set up a schedule for me to wean off the Coreg. So when I switched, darn near had a stroke. That rebound is murder. So I set up my own sched and took half a Coreg and half a Metaprolol for a week, then just the Metaprolol. Much better. Then I noticed my BP was really low, so I cut the Meta in half and it was still low. But I had much more energy and the depression (which I didn't know I had) started to lift, finally! Stopped the beta blocker entirely and the BP is just fine on just the Losartan. What a difference. I can walk again and enjoy life. It's been three months now with no beta blockers and I feel fine. I bet my EF is up too. It was 22% last fall. Still have to take a lasix twice a week, though.
