I am a 37 year old male that was diagnosed 10 months ago with cardiomegaly. In the last 10 months Ive been to the E.R. 3 times for congestive heart failure. This is still all so new to me and my cardiologist hasnt been very informative as to what I should be doing other than not smoking. Everything I know now about my condition I have had to learn doing my own research. My echocardiogram came up with an EF=25% . I am currently taking lasix 40 mg, digitek 25 mg, hyzaar 12/50, and antenolol 20 mg, the antenolol doesnt mix very well with me, it makes me feel bloated and at times makes it harder to breath since I had asthma as a kid. To make everything even worse, because of the financial hardship of becoming disabled, I am know homeless. If there is anything you might be able to tell me to help me out with my situation it would be greatly appreciated, thanks, John
