    30% Ejection Fraction --- limitations?

    Do you have swelling of your ankles or legs below knees . How many pillows do you use while sleeping I.e. do you need to sleep on an incline or do you wake up in the night gasping for air . If any of these pls express this to your cardiologist

    Early 20's, going to have a second OHS to replace my aortic valve
