    My doctor never suggested an ICD and I’m in congestive heart failure the beginnings of it. That’s upsetting that he didn’t even suggest anything to help me. He didn’t even change my blood pressure medication. He just said I’m in congestive heart failure and we’ll just keep monitoring you he told me my blood pressure medication that I’m currently taking is not good for somebody in congestive heart failure but yet he refused to change it. I’m not getting it. I think I need to see another cardiologist, thanks Loma Linda University Medical Center ughh.

    Too many doctors don't fully recognize or understand heart failure. I wish my wife's doctors had known what they should have been doing. She's dead now and I'll never have her back.

      What a horrible experience! Sorry for your loss 😥!
      I'm currently 43yo (male). Had and have a more then terrible experience in diagnosis as well. Over here -the Netherlands - our medical system is just lacking proactivity. Months are passing by and I still suffer from heavy complaints. Still suspect I have hèart failure with preserved ejection fraction. But the doctors just dont seem to listen to me. Their ego's and bias are very frustrating 😑

    So happy for you that they found this at a young age. I’m 60 years old and just started congestive heart failure. Very happy that you excepted the implant to help you. God bless you.

    Im 39 and was just diagnosed last month with CHF and an EF of 15%

      I was diagnosed with chf and the same EF as you Tyson 2 years ago. I was going strong but went back to my nasty eating habits and started feeling some symptoms again so I stop everything and started eating healthy again. This time I'm sticking to it. Life is more important than junk food. Every once in awhile you can treat yourself but not everyday. God bless you. I hope you head towards a full recovery and get on with your life. Never give up. 🙂👍
