Question
treysnonna
Has anyone had this happen to them. Hubby had his 3rd heart eval since 2014.. they reduced him from 60 to 30%. I’m puzzled. He had c&p at Pensacola by a PA. He said PA basically bad mouthed the va. He did not even listen to his heart. And we get the letter today saying they think his cads is better. They determined this from the ecg from the time he was in the hospital in aug/sept. When he had the lung embolism. The doctors at hospital did determine that it was not dot. So it is highly likely that it came from the cads. He never had surgery to correct the cads, so I cannot imagined it would get better in 5 yrs. It did have his left ventricular ejection fraction has 55. And I think they went with that. hubby did say he told the PA he did have spells he explained them to him. It was the syncope ( which is feeling like your going to faint, loosing muscle control). Which he will be walking and have to grab something and stands with his knees bent a little and bounce afraid he is going to fall. He has fallen several times. He experiences his dizziness. Dyspena ( shortness of breath with any type of exertion.And that is what 38cfr ejection fraction of 30 to 50 or experiencing dizziness, dyspena, syncope. His heart doctor had him Down for 3to 5 Mets originally. So we are going to see him as soon as possible. I think the OR is the answer here. Now we have to have a hearing and they said it will be at our expense. I assume it will be in St Pete, which we are6 hrs away. Any ideas?
