I've been feeling really worn out and having a hard time sleeping because of my breathing troubles. I recently found out my ejection fraction is at 40. I'm super worried about it and want to know what I can do to feel better and improve my situation. Any advice on how to handle this?

I've been taking Telista H 40 for my BP for about a year but sometimes it's not available in my village. My BP has been normal around 120/80 and I recently had EVLT surgery on both legs. The nurses checked my BP post-surgery - first day it was 120/70 and second day 120/80. Can you suggest a low-cost alternative to Telista H 40 that would work for me?

You can try Telma-H instead
