I made a post about jaurdiance for HFrEF several months ago but my insurance denied my claim for the medicine. Well at last, and I have nooo idea how, my HF doctors staff got it approved for me (who knows maybe they just lied and said I had diabetes). Anyways only day two so I can't tell y'all if it's working yet for my HFrEF, but I wanted to put a post up since this is a newer use for the medication and others may want to know about it later.
So far side effects are not much different than my 4 other heart meds, headache, orthostatic hypotension, hypotension, and fatigue. I've also had a touch of nausea but like with the others I imagine most side effects will lessen over the first few weeks.
I will try and post again in a month or so to say if I have noticed any improvements in functional capacity etc (if I remember) so that y'all have the information in case it's ever an option.
Hope you all are well and the weather is as nice as it is here!

I had a enjection fraction of 20% and was started on Jardiance. I had to put it was being given for low enjection fraction to get approval. I was on it for 6 months and just had a echo It showed my current ejection fraction at 40%, I haven't been oiver 30% in 8 years. The only downside is my right side of my heart is now enlarged. It is always something right?
