Managing my heart failure after a 14 years spell. - #13344

Tunde Olusi

I've had heart failure since 2010. It's been managed by doctors in Nigerian general hospitals since then. Sometimes in 2018 I was so good that I felt I was never diagnosed of the ailment. As time went by, I became complacent because I was just good. In fact the last time I went for check-up was January 2023. Lately I feel very weak that I can't even walk for 100m without stopping. I have been on warfrin 5mg, torsimide 10mg, digoxin 0.25mg , lisinoprin 5mg and metolazone 1.25mg. I have lost much weight and people think I'm over 70 years old whereas I just became 62 this year.

Age: 62
Find it difficult to eat much food
My stomach pains me
Sometimes i cough even at the slightest thing i do.
