Hi @GENETICS
Sorry to hear about your problems. If you haven't already seen a heart failure nurse, I'd suggest that you ask your gp or Consultant for a referral to one, as we had fantastic support from ours when a close relative had similar issues to yourself. Also The British Heart Foundation are a good source of information.
I hope you can get some help soon.
