Can Harvoni Cause Heart Blockage Symptoms?

My feet and legs have always had a swelling problem, but it worsened when I got on Harvoni, and though there never was evidence of a heart problem before, now the doctor wants to discuss heart surgery. Will the symptoms go away when I am through the treatment, or has it caused a permanent problem I need to have surgically corrected?

If your doctor thinks your condition is severe enough to require surgery, then it is likely not something that's going to go away, even after you finish Harvoni treatment. However, you should get a second opinion, to be sure, and for your own peace of mind, before undergoing surgery.
