What Is The Treatment For The Stiff Heart And On Beta Blocker?
I was recently told I have a stiff heart (heart won't relax) and I'm on a beta blocker. The specialist said to go ahead and live a normal life. My chest pain is fairly constant. Other symptoms that put me in the hospital come and go. Is it time to follow up with the doctor again since, if I understood him correctly, there's nothing they can do for this problem?

It sounds bad if u call it a stiff ht. But it initial problem that happens in CAD, HT, Obesity, DM. Itself it does not cause angina. there is nothing to panic about . ur MD is right. u can lead a normal life. u may add ACE-I for complete regimen. if there is SOB and wt. gain may take diuretics. Ht. contraction is usually normal.
