Just went had an echo done today and my EF is now at 50% up from 35% the last time I went to get an echo. Thank goodness

Starting reading some stories and they're amazing I go back to see my cardiologist heart failure team in Sept. Last March I went to Urgent Care because I had a cough and congestion for about a week and couldn't sleep they sent me to ER once I got to the Urgent care heart rate was 120 something while resting and blood pressure was through the roof. I got admitted for heart failure, stage 4 kidney disease, diabetes and a blood clot in my heart. The blood clot scared me the worse because a year prior I had just lost my mom to a stroke.

My left ventricle was only pumping at 10% and the last echo I had it was over 30% so things are looking up. My resting heart rate has gone from 110-115 resting to under 100. Blood clot gone AIC down to 5.3 when it was 13 at the hospital. Kidneys not much improvement but don't need to get a transplant or dialysis. I'm just happy that last March wasn't the end of the me.
