I'm experiencing some issues that are really concerning me. I have chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, and sometimes I feel really drowsy. I've tried sticking out my tongue, but I've had X-rays, echocardiograms, and TMT tests, and they all came back normal. The weirdest part is that these symptoms usually hit me at midnight when I'm sleeping. I'm worried because it keeps happening. Could you help me understand what might be going on?

I'm really concerned about my sister's ultrasound report. It shows she has dilated cardiomyopathy and severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction with an EF of 33. She's also got severe pulmonary artery hypertension and an RVSP of 78 mmHg. The doctor mentioned there's no surgery option. Can you shed some light on what treatment options might be available for her situation?

As her ejection fraction is low she is not fit for surgery and needs to be on medications and absolute bed rest untill EF improves,follow your doctors advice
