Amanda continued to be dismissed by her cardiologist, in spite of worsening symptoms.

Transcript

So I kept calling this cardiologist, I was like, ‘Something’s wrong, I can’t eat, I can’t – there’s no way I can retain anything.’ And again, I was dismissed and, ‘Just wait for the pills to work, you’ll be fine.’ Fast forward, I was not fine. So maybe about a couple of weeks before I went back to school for my fourth year, I should say my university town is two and a half hours away from my hometown. So I was gearing up, ready to go back to school and then we noticed my ejection fraction dropped. It went from maybe in the 40s to maybe around 32 or 33%, so it did drop a significant amount in a short amount of time.
