Just a quick note to say hi and thank you for your comment to me 2 years ago! I spoke to my HCM specialist and they put me on betablockers to start with to ease any strain on my heart and then when these made me incredibly ill they put me on Verapamil which is heaven compared! Its great to hear from someone who has an ICD like my dad and I have decided i will get one put in when my doc wants it done, my cardiologist says he will put one in if/when i faint again because that will confirm the inevitable needs to be done quickly. im just about to turn 26 now and (touch wood) have been doing ok, just to say thanks again for your words of wisdom.x

I also have moderate DD. You stated if you let it "get out of control" you have symtoms of CHF. It seems that at times I'll have symptoms as well and at times I won't. Could you give me some pointers on how you "keep it under control". Thanks so much. Denise
