Health Description
Health Consultation Description: I have PPCM from pregnancy and am breastfeeding while taking lasix and enalapril, my cardiologist is insisting i also begin carvedilol. I cant find research on breastfeeding detrimental effects on infant (5 months) and the drug. I am building up anxiety trying to decide as I can't put off starting this next drug forever.

Condition analysis:
Hello! I know this was a year ago, hoping to be able to reach you. I also had PPCM. There is a support group for us on facebook with a cardiologist who jas specialized in researching PPCM for over 30 years. He has the most up to date evidenced based research and treatments.

Instructions:
In many cases, you can't prevent cardiomyopathy. Let your doctor know if you have a family history of the condition.

You can help reduce your chance of cardiomyopathy and other types of heart disease by living a heart-healthy lifestyle and making lifestyle choices such as:
-- Avoiding the use of alcohol or cocaine
-- Controlling high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes
-- Eating a healthy diet
-- Getting regular exercise
-- Getting enough sleep
-- Reducing your stress
