Is Ejection Fraction 72% A Cause For Concern?
My husband is 65 y/o. Has IHSS ejection fraction 72%, on atenolol, flomax, prozac 40, asa, lipitor. He was diagnosed in 1998 has been stable with no issues since then. He complains all the time of fatigue, takes naps during the day, no libido at all. His main complaint is the fatigue. I have mentioned this to his PCP but he seems to brush it off and is more interested in the wellness visits and not trying to find out why he is so fatigued. I am very frustrated.

Hello,
The common causes like a migraine or a tension headache, as first-line management you can try analgesics like aceclofenac or tramadol for pain relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
