Welcome to the heart failure community. I’m sorry to hear that your EF has been fluctuating. Have you discussed your concerns about your EF with your cardiologist? Leslie (Community Moderator) Not yet my follow up is next week
Hi.
I see you are new to our community, having just joined up a few days agu (August 9). I would like to take this time to welcome you to our community. Glad to see you are already participating here in the forums. I see you received a response above from my colleague . I think she has a great recommendation about talking to your cardiologist. I also have something to add. It's completely natural to feel nervous about fluctuations in your EF levels. However, it may help to know that your EF may fluctuate based on various factors. So, this is why it is a good idea to talk to your cardiologist, who will assess your situation and likely offer advice on whether this is a cause for concern and what steps you could consider if needed. Talking to your doctor is another great way of easing your mind. What do you think? John. heart-failure.net community moderator I agree thank you I have some questions when I have my follow up I just wondered if people had the same problem and how it was handled
Hi.
I did not realize that you and were the same person. Your above comment makes more sense now. I was a little confused. Am I right to assume both of these accounts are yours. This would clarify my confusion. That said, that's great you have an appointment next week. I hope you do keep us posted as to what you learn. All the best. John. heart-failure.net community moderator. I’ve been in heart failure multiple times throughout my life and I’m almost positive that my EF has fluctuated while I was in and out heart failure. There could be a multitude of reasons why your EF has fluctuated. I had a lot of blockages that needed coiled. It helped for a while, but inevitably I had to have a heart transplant. Hope everything goes well in your upcoming appointment. Leslie (Community Moderator)
