I've been on planep 50mg and cidmus 50mg in the morning, plus cidmus 100mg in the evening since November 2019 because my LVEF is at 38 percent. I'm worried about it and wondering how I can improve this situation. Could you offer some advice or suggestions?

I'm feeling really concerned because for the last 23 days I've been having this chest pain on the left side. It spreads to my left hand and even down to my wrist. It feels like my chest is being squeezed, and at times it's like someone's poking me with a pin. The pain sometimes goes to my back too. About six months ago, I had this pain that felt like a mild heart attack. Do you think this could be something serious?

Chest pain, especially when radiating to the arm and back, could be a sign of a heart issue. Given your past experience, I strongly recommend that you seek immediate medical evaluation to rule out any serious heart conditions.
