Lower Ejection Fraction

My ejection fraction has gone down from 40 to 35 and I'm wondering how to get it back up again. I'm sure it is tablet related as I take a lot of medication for heart failure as well as Parkinson’s drugs and my BP is always very low (normal for me but lower readings lately). I know exercise and fibre help but think it's more complicated. I get a blood test this week and weighed. Also my potassium level is borderline. I will wait to see what the experts say but wondered if anyone has had their EF go down and what they did?
