Loss of apetite - Low EV (Ejection Fraction)

[Altitude7]

Since I have been diagnosed with an EV of 25% four months back the lower abdomen area feels so delicate. There is little apetite. Furosemide sometimes does assist even though I have no visible swelling in the legs or abdomen. I have tried beta blockers but cannot tolerate them. Heart rate has been 56-75.

I had tests done which showed issues with the left ventricle so maybe the oxygen circulation is not great. Breatlessness is there with climbing stairs and I get exhausted still on simple home DIY tasks.

However, I just wonder if I should get an abdomen x-ray done for any other underlying issue perhaps.

Hi Altitude. I doubt that an x-ray would show anything, but you should certainly mention the abdomen to your doctor - the "delicacy" may be related to any medications you are on.
