Brief Answer: Uncertain Detailed Answer: Hi, Its highly uncertain that the heart grows stronger overtime with stronger medications. More the medications act on the heart more damage can be expected instead. I suggest you to cultivate a healthy life style with good diet and regular exercise. try to get off these medications as soon as possible. There is nothing better than natural healing. I could say as long as you are on medications you may become symptomless. But it needs you to follow healthy practices to have a better life. Regards,
