I was treated for cardiomyopathy last year and had an EF of 45%. I have a lot of symptoms and referred myself to a cardio doctor. I was on two kinds of meds for 6 months, got my EF back to 67% and was taken off the meds. The doctor gave me a 6 month echo a few weeks ago and received the results yesterday. My heart is weakening once again and EF back to 45%. I was put back on the medicines and have to do more testing in 3 months. Just wondering if this will get worse and how quickly. I am 40 with MVP, a non-smoker. I exercise daily but overweight with thyroid problems.
