I have had allot of stress this past year my son getting divorce my husband i think as he gets older is getting mean and yells at me all the time and im still working full time. i have 6 beautiful grandchildren i love them so much i want to live longer and be at there graduations from college and at there weddings most of all i just want to be here as their good friend so they have someone they can trust and someone that can validate them. Can you tell me what do i have to do to get better and improve ejection fraction. Like vitamins exercise should i retire from work help me please.
Hi, Welcome. Decrease in ejection fraction from 45% to 25% suggests some event in the heart which has caused heart function to decline. I suggest you to get a one blood tests done like Troponin I, CPU & COMB. If they are negative than go for a stress echo to rule out any blockage in arteries of heart. The cause for decrease in heart function is important for treatment. Till than continue your medications & keep fluid restricted to 1.5ltr/ day. Thanks
