Thanks for your reply! I was wearing a life vest for almost 6 months and I stopped because my prescription needed a renewal. My ejection fraction was 10-15% last September and it increased to 30% in December but it has only improved by 2% since then. I’ve been taking 7 medicines. Now my doctor wants me to consider implanting a defibrillator which I don’t want because I’ve been feeling normal and I’m afraid that I would feel depressed if I had the defibrillator. I’m 29 and I don’t wanna carry a heavy device in my body yet…

They thought I was going to need one but my EF went up 5% at the last ECHO and they are holding off. I’d rather not if I do r need to do this. Of course if I try to do too much I get chest pains. All of this without any insurance. They have changed one med and I’m still on blood thinner. I was diagnosed Dec2021

Try taking black seed oil with your medications. It may help improve your injection fraction. I believe that is what improved mine.

My ejection fraction was 20 percent when I was diagnosed, and my cardiologist didn’t hesitate to put in two stents and a pacemaker/defibrillator. I’m wondering now if we should have held off. My EF went to 40 percent, but I’m starting to show symptoms again, especially the coughing. I’m not sure what to do.
