Hello, I am a 57 year old Divemaster with nearly 600 dives experience.
During a routine medical check up in May I was found to have a heart eyection fraction (EF) of 30% (normal is 50-70%). I have stopped diving.
After months of testing, the cause was listed as "unknown". I was put on medication and after one month of treatment I was up to 40%.
Assuming that my EF eventually returns to normal, can I resume diving while on the following meds and dosages?
Bisoprolol 5 mgs x day, ramipril 5 mgs x day, eplerenona 12.5 mgs x day
I will probably need to continue to take these in the future...
Any comments or referral to someone in Europe the US who may be able to help me would be great... thanks so much everyone!
