Hi,
I wonder that having cardiomyopathy with this much less ejection fraction why you did not go for treatment and left untreated.
Now it seems that you might be in cardiac failure producing back pressure resulting in breathing problem and edema over legs.
It seems that you might be having auricular fibrillation with heavy rise in blood pressure.
Consult cardiologist as soon as possible.
Ok and take care.
