Ejection : The heart contractility is usually 55- 65% never 100% . You have several things going on. There are good lung tests. No smoking weight control control your thyroid cardiac rehab to get in monitored cardiac "shape" are some choices. Acid reflux and aspiration can hurt lungs also. Echo testing is noninvasive and can be done repetitively.
