[QUOTE=huckfinn;3433987]Ischemia, or lack of blood flow through the coronary arteries is the number one cause of Diastolic Heart Failure, which I have.
We both have Diastolic Heart Failure. I also have some thickening of the left ventricle and septum, but not too bad considering my age, which is about 10 years your senior.
My DHF was caused by tachycardia.
I am wondering if you have more problems at night than during the daytime? I also notice that you have been on Coreg for a few months. Have you noticed any increase in heart rate or heart rhythm during the first few hours, after you take it?

You have my admiration for stepping up and taking responsibility for the raising of your grandson. That's quite a major sacrifice for you and your wife, especially knowing about your own difficult, personal burden of heart disease and DHF.
