Question
I'm really worried about what my doctor mentioned in my last appointment. He said something about my heart working at only 25%, and I'm not sure what that means. Is he correct? What should I do next?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The doctor's assessment of your heart functioning at 25% is indicative of a condition known as heart failure. In such cases, medications like Carvedilol (Coreg) at a starting dose of 3.125 mg twice daily can be prescribed to help improve heart function and symptoms. Additionally, medications like Lisinopril (Zestril) at a starting dose of 2.5-5 mg once daily can also be beneficial in managing heart failure. It is important to follow your doctor's advice closely and attend regular follow-up appointments for monitoring and adjustments to your treatment plan.
