Suggest Remedy For Staph Infection In Heart Valves

I was hospitalized 5 years ago with a staph infection which settled on two of my heart valves.I was also told I had hep c and had been exposed to b. My question is ,what could cause me to b so lethargic that some days I can't get out of bed I could literally sleep around the clock. Is there any hope of being normal again ? I've tried vitamins ,but can't tell much difference,amphetimines seem to be the only thing that helps.do u have any suggestions I do intendto seek medical help.

Cardiologist,  's  Response
hello,i have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.
First of all, staph infection of heart valve is serious infection, and such infection does not affect structurally normal valves,so you may have pre existing valve problem.so at this stage you should have follow up echo and cardiac assessment.
Secondly you mentioned that you had Hep.B and C.your present symptoms may be due to chronic hepatitis B.avoid amphetamines and go for early check up,
My best wishes
