How should a cardiomyopathy patient record body changes in daily life?
Answer reviewed by Wang Haiying, Attending Physician
Professional answer
Keep a dated log of changes in activity tolerance, shortness of breath, chest discomfort, palpitations, dizziness, fainting, and sleep disturbance, as well as any indicators your medical team has asked you to monitor. If symptoms are significantly worse than usual, contact your healthcare team promptly. Seek emergency help immediately if you experience severe difficulty breathing, persistent chest pain, fainting, or altered consciousness.
