Saw my cardiologist for my 3 month check post heart attack. It includes an echocardiogram, very detailed.
Now when they did that the day of my heart attack, my heart function was down to 30%, also known as heart failure. Ideal is above 50%.
Since then, they had to take me off the statin cause my liver had a cow and threw my liver numbers through the roof. But they still had me on a blood pressure medication, my BP before the heart attack typically ran 100/60. Now, around 90/60. The blood pressure medication was the smallest amount and I was taking half of it daily. And yet, my blood pressure was usually registering at 85/55. Very low. I ended up in the ER because of low pressure and sinus tachycardia (a known side effect of that blood pressure medication).
So today he took me off the blood pressure medication and for an EPIC WIN, my heart function is 62%!!!!!
