I remember from the beginning of Horiot (and I paraphrase): If you follow the Gedolim and they made a mistake, you are not considered “guilty”. But if they made a mistake, and you know it, but you still follow them, then you are “guilty”.
I think that if you have questions about the advice then talk them over with the Gadol who gave you that advice. Maybe he didn’t understand your situation, maybe you didn’t understand his advice, maybe there are some other points that were missed on your side or his.
Listen to Gedolim, but don’t forget about yourself.
