Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was diagnosed with chf. I went to ER with shortness of breath. An ultrasound was done on my heart, which determined chf. But I was told MRI looked normal. I arrived with an ejection rate of 30%. But was told it went back up to 50% 2 days later. Do I still have a low survival rate? One side of the heart is thick. What are my options?

Hi,
Your symptoms suggest some lung lesion (pneumonitis) or sudden bronchospasm to cause severely difficult breathing that's why it turned blue. There is need for immediate doctor's attention and treatment. Please the him to ER for urgent care. If he is on inhalers, you can give a dose while on the way.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
