I have heart failure because of low EF, I have been on entresto, for about 8 mo. my Dr. recently increase from half a tablet to a whole but it seem like my heart pounds some (not beating fast) but beat hard after eating or lying down. I call my cardiologist and told her, she said she think it comes from not drinking enough water or fluids, not the entresto; has anyone else experience heart pounding.
I don't think any of us really drink enough water. i feel better when i drink water.
we never drink enough water. our body needs it. I feel a lot better when i drink almost the 64oz a day. it also slows down the munchies.. lol
When I have palpitations (heart pounding), it helps me to lie on my right side instead of the left.
Thanks, at one point I was afraid to drink a lot of fluid because of the heart failure (low ef), which I was advised not to drink much fluid, but I have notice drinking a little more has help some for now, I hope it cont. to improve. We have to stay on top with our heart health
Take Care everyone.
It's hard to know how much fluids you need. In my situation I need to keep up with fluids. My cardiologist told me to pay attention to my urine. If it was dark color I needed to drink a little more. She said you want to keep it at a light clear color. Since I've been paying attention to that I haven't had many problems. Just putting it out there.
