I have had loads of tests and scans since being told in Nov i had heart failure the tests and scans were dont to find out why i had developed the condition, my consultant has told me it is all down to a virus and my heart is actually a lot better now than it was in Nov. My problem is im using more pillows to sleep with than before and i feel like i have gone ten rounds with Mike Tyson every day. Is this due to my condition or is this due to the Meds.

    I also take Ramipril and Bisoprolol. About an hour or more after taking the Bisoprolol I feel as if I have been hit by a truck. Taking it after a full breakfast helps slow down the response and its more managable. The Ramipril I take at night. Many cardiologists will try to take you up to 10mgs of Bisoprolol but it might be worth discussing this with them as many cant cope with the side effects and they know this. All the best, hope you get sorted.
