dmckinner	I have had almost the same thing. I have been on meds for two years for a cardiomyopathy and heart failure. Im on Coreg, Diovan, Spironolactone, Lasix, and Prozac. ALmost the same stuff just slightly different drugs. Its worth it, you just need to keep on them and get yourself moving in the right direction. I was 32 when i found out. it scared me to death, but now my worst problem is that im always tired and cant lose weight, both caused by the Coreg according to the doctors!!! Good Luck!!!

Zoe	Here is a link that is by people with heart failure for people with heart failure. If you will look through the site you will find a lot of others are in the same boat. Try----- http://www.chfpatients.com...... It's loaded with information. Celebrex and heart failure are not a good combination and Celebrex can lead to heat attack just like Vixox did.
