Diagnosed With Liver Cirhosis And Chronic Heart Failure. Suffer From Peripheral Neuropathy. What Is Going On?

Hi, I was diagnosed with liver cirhosis and chronic heart failure 3 years ago(alcoholic cardiomyopathy). I haven't drank since, corrected my diet, upped my exercise routine and lost quite a bit of weight. I also had oedema and still suffer with peripheral neuropathy which can make walking difficult and painful at times. I have been able to live a fairly normal life otherwise.
My problem is that lately I seem to be getting tired much more frequently and have to nap regularly which really disrupts my day. When ok, I have plenty energy but I am becoming fatigued much more easily. Anything I can do, or is this the way that it is going to go?

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

You may need more investigations.
It could be low output from the heart due to Cardiomyopathy / change of liver function...
It may be deficiency of vitamins or minerals...
It may be electrolytes imbalance / even side effects of the drugs...
A cardiologist can assess and help further.

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
