Hello,

Consult cardiologist and get evaluated.

We have to rule out possible causes like valvular heart disease.

If the ejection fraction is normal it won’t be a problem.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
