What does the future hold

I have a 20% efraction rate recently received a ICD ... Bystolic and diabetic, Hypertension meds... I am tired all the time and have not been given a real idea of prognosis.  What do I have to look forward to in terms of recovery

Do you have a long term history of heart problems?  Have the doctors been able to determine why your EF is low?  I know that Coreg has had some really good results at helping to raise the EF.  

Sorry you are feeling tired...It could be from the meds.  Is this a new diagnosis?  Do you have a bi-ventricular pacemaker/ICD?  The unit would have 3 leads and would help to pace your heart simultaneously.  That also has had good results for raising EF.  

A low salt, heart-healthy diet and exercise within any limits you have been given by your doctor may also help.  

What has your doctor said as to exercise, prognosis?
