Heart Disease - what can you do for gout caused by medications?Also, cardiomyopathy?

I suggest you talk to your doctor about this problem. Can your doctor suggest another medicine that will work in the same way but without the gout side effect?
If not maybe your doctor could suggest a preventative gout medicine to take daily to reduce the number of attacks.

Cardiomyopathy is a weakening of the heart muscle or a change in heart muscle structure. It is often associated with inadequate heart pumping or other heart function problems. There are several types of cardiomyopathy and the treatment will depend on the type of cardiomyopathy and the cause.

Drugs and treatments that may be used include:
ACE inhibitors, such as captopril, enalapril, lisinopril, and ramipril
Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) such as losartan and candesartan
Beta-blockers, such as carvedilol and metoprolol
Diuretics, including thiazide, loop diuretics, and potassium-sparing diuretics
Digitalis glycosides
Drugs that dilate blood vessels (vasodilators)

Often, it is trial and error before the right combination of medicines for you are found.
