Why so important to check with doctor regarding any exercise program. Does easy walking cause this also? If so make sure you inform your cardiologist.

I have a EF of 25. That is very low. But the right side of my ventricles is normal with normal EF. The right side supplies blood to heart and thus I don't have the usually problems with a low EF that most do.

Do you have any hobbies? Or hobbies you might like to try? They can go a long way to reducing stress and anxiety.

I have the palpitations all the time. The ones that bother me are the PVCs that happen right after each other. That scares me as I think I will be getting a shock (I have a ICD/Pacemaker).

I just had an ICD shock on 24th. I was trying to diet high protein and also has some stomach issues and think my electrolytes got way off and caused it. When I go to ER for ICD shocks the first thing they check is electrolytes.

Has your doctors looked at the medications you are on that may be contributing to what you are feeling? How about food you eat, what you drink, allergies, and of couse anxiety/stress you are under. If not asked them to address if can be contributing and seek what you can do or them do to lesson them.
Good luck!

That high protein Keto diet is NOT good for the heart. People who are known for living to 100 and more rarely eat meat or animal products. The goal is not to live long but to live healthy too.
