I have diastolic heart failure ( also called HF PEF ( heart failure with preserved ejection fraction). My ejection fraction is normal but my heart doesn’t relax enough afterwards. Anyone else?

I have CF with normal EF. I'm not sure about the diastolic part.

Hello @anng53

Yes, I understand what you are saying. I also have diastolic dysfunction with a normal ejection fraction. I understand the frustration that you are experiencing. Since my heart does not relax enough after exercise, I tend to feel exhausted, and this discourages me from many forms of exercise. Do you feel the same way?

What type of meds, if any, are you taking?
