Posted By Brenda H. on September 27, 1998 at 00:01:03:







I was diagnosed about 4 weeks ago, and am on Prinivil 7.5mg twice a day, coumiden and lasix,

1st)My original cardioligist started me on coreg 3.125 twice a day, I was on it for a week when he referred me to a CHF clinic at a local university, they said to stop taking the Coreg for now, why would you think?

2nd) I've been having some weaking in my legs is this some side effect from meds? My ef is 15-20%.  
3rd) What are most accurrate tests to do for the heart?  I heard a heart cath, I've had an echo, and am know scheduled for a MUGA,and in what order would you say is best for someone of my age(31)?       Thanks soo much,love,Brenda
