To give you a history, I was diagnosed with HCM about 8 years ago and had very few symptoms until recently. In July I had an ICD implanted. In October I was diagnosed with HOCM. By December I was in the hospital with congestive heart failure. I had an alcohol septal ablation in January wich seemed to help. Now I am constantly fighting with CHF and symptoms seem to be nearly as bad as before the ablation. I had another echo done which indicated that my obstruction has not increased. I am very frustrated. I did some research on CHF and was not pleased to find out the mortality rate after diagnosis. Everyone I work with is coming up to me and suggesting disability. I am very confused, depressed and scared. Has anyone else experienced CHF with HCM and/or is currently disabled because of these conditions.
Thanks,
