Cardiomyopathy/Hypertension Ejection Rate 44%

Diagonisis: Cardiomyopathy due to Uncontrolled Hpertension. Ejection rate 44%. Very tired all the time. Can hardly do anything except sit. When I get up to do anything, I try to pick up things around house, but within minutes, I am totally exhausted. Blood pressure is not too bad being on all the medications I am on, 2 clomidine 2mg tab twice a day, 1 monopril 10mg once a day, 360mg dilatzem time released once a day, 2 40mg lasix twice a day, 1 vitamine B6 tablet once a day, and two potassium tablets twice a day. I was fatigued prior to taking all this medication and all I was taking prior to all of these was the 1 lasix 40mg and 360mg dilatzem and naprasen 500mg per day and also flexerall for my back spasms. Is all this medication making it worse even though it is keeping the blood pressure down somewhat. I feel so depressed as I can't do anything. Also, what is severe breast attenuation which showed up under Cardiolite images. My blood pressure went from 188/91 mm/Hg to 282/57 mm/HG with heart rate of 110 beats/minute. I had an abnormal baseline EKG with left ventricular hypertrophy with repolorization changes. What does that mean. Will I ever get my ability to do my every day routine again. I am 54 years old and I have written before, but I did not have any of the tests completed before. Thank you, Sandra
