What Are The Symptoms Of Lower Ejection Fraction?

Hi. I have an ejection fraction of 49. Sometimes I get dizzy when standing up quickly and I m also short of breath at times. I lift weights and my wife says my breathing sounds terrible and goes on too long like that when I come in from a workout. Can these symptoms be related to lowered EF? What are some common symptoms Of lowered EF?
