I have radiology induced heart failure with preserved EF until my last echo. EF dropped to 45% Dr. immediately put me on Entresto. This drug has been a nightmare for me. I've had severe stomach pain, bloating, blurred vision, dizziness, headaches and my bp went as low as 75/44. Then two days ago I was walking into my kitchen and came to on the floor. I hadn't had any dizziness to warn me a ... Show Full Comment

I've had severe stomach pain, bloating, blurred vision, dizziness, headaches and my bp went as low as 75/44. Then two days ago I was walking into my kitchen and came to on the floor. I hadn't had any dizziness to warn me ahead of time. I don't know how low my bp went for me to lose consciousness. That was the last straw. My doctor is still adamant I take this medication, I'm getting a new doctor.

Blood pressure 110/76, resting heart rate in low 40s, Oxygen saturation >95. I seem to feel fine. Ride my bike 1 to 2 hours and Nordic ski in the high mountains. Seem to feel fine so far.

Entresto is phenomenal. Read the reviews and it's clear that those who give this elite med time to work see fantastic results. With all due respect, any reviewer who denounces a med after taking 1-2 pills should be totally disregarded. This must be stated because it doesn't get any more serious than the heart, and I can attest to the fact that Entresto benefits the heart immensely. I ... Show Full Comment

Entresto is phenomenal. Read the reviews and it's clear that those who give this elite med time to work see fantastic results. With all due respect, any reviewer who denounces a med after taking 1-2 pills should be totally disregarded. This must be stated because it doesn't get any more serious than the heart, and I can attest to the fact that Entresto benefits the heart immensely. I began Entresto in November 2019, roughly 5 months after my 1st HF diagnosis. Of important note, I had been taking Carvedilol consistently for 3 months at a dose of 12.5 mgs twice daily. In fact all of my HF side effects had subsided by November 2019, which was very encouraging because I had traveled continually for work and my diet (sodium intake specifically) was rather subpar. Furthermore, I had completely stopped going to the gym because I frankly terrible as I could barely walk from my vehicle to the supermarket parking lot. I'm pleased to say that all the negative HF effects ended extremely abruptly in late October 2019 (2 weeks prior to starting at Entresto). as I joined a gym and began working out literally everyday. Don't listen to doctors that tell you to not engage in weight training. I'm a lifter, not a cardio guy, so had I heeded the advice of typical doctors I definitely would not have experienced the phenomenal results that I have been blessed to see over the last 13 months. Prior to my HF diagnosis and hospital stay in June 2019, I literally felt like I was 20 years old again. I'm happy to say that I feel the same right now. From day one I have been on 24/26 mg of Entresto twice daily. As stated above, I also take Carvedilol twice daily, I'm now up to 25 mg per dose. I REALLY believe in Carvedilol most notably for Heart Rate reduction (Mine went from 120 to 770, as well as for lowering Blood Pressure. In regards to Entresto, though my EF was just 22% upon starting the med, I felt great. In just 4 weeks, Entresto increased my EF to 29%. Outstanding.
