Cardio Myopathy

Posted By Sam (Dubai, UAE) on 05/05/2012

My mom is diagnosed with cardio myopathy (weakening of heart muscle) recently with the symtoms of swelling in both legs since 4 months and difficulty in breathing since few days, she is already diabetic (controlled) and hypertensive (some time go higher), Dr has given medication and put her on 1000ml fluid restriction, she feels medication is not much helping her, if I get suggetions about any home remidies or any herbs or supplement to help her in this condition, I will really appriciate.
