Given your mother's recent heart attack and current condition, it's vital to approach her health with care and a comprehensive treatment plan that complements her existing medical treatments. In Ayurveda, we emphasize balancing the heart's energy (Sadhaka Pitta) and supporting overall cardiovascular health while considering her chronic conditions, such as diabetes.

First and foremost, ensure she continues to follow her cardiologist's recommendations and medications. Regular monitoring of her heart function and blood sugar levels is crucial. For her chest pain, nausea, and uneasiness, you can incorporate Ayurvedic remedies that support heart health.

Guggulu formulations, particularly Guggulu (Commiphora mukul), can help manage cholesterol and support cardiovascular health. Consider a product like Triphala Guggulu, which helps with detoxification and promotes healthy circulation. Additionally, Arjuna (Terminalia arjuna) is an excellent herb for heart health, known to strengthen the cardiac muscles and improve heart function. A dosage of 500 mg of Arjuna powder twice daily can be beneficial, but it’s essential to consult her Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized dosing.

Dietary changes play a significant role in managing her condition. Encourage her to consume a heart-healthy diet rich in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables while minimizing processed foods and saturated fats. Incorporate garlic and ginger into her meals, as they have natural blood-thinning and heart-protective properties. Turmeric (curcumin) is another potent anti-inflammatory that can be added to her diet.

For her symptoms of nausea and uneasiness, ginger tea can be soothing. A mix of warm water, lemon juice, and honey can also help alleviate nausea. Regular light walking and gentle yoga can improve circulation and reduce stress levels, which are essential for her recovery.

It’s important to create a calm environment, ensuring she gets enough rest and managing stress through practices like meditation or deep breathing exercises.

Hey, I totally understand why you’re concerned about your mom's condition. Based on what you're telling me, it sounds like she needs immediate medical care. If chest pain is coming and going, and especially given her history of a heart attack and an EF of 30, it's crucial to consult her cardiologist or take her to emergency services straight away. This ain't something to take lightly. 

From an Ayurvedic perspective, while modern medicine is absolutely the priority in such cases, we can complement the ongoing treatment with supportive care once she's stable and all clear from her doctors. Emotional and stress factors can also play a role here, so calming practices, like breathing exercises (Pranayama), meditation, could be gently introduced once she's in a safe position.

Dig into her diet for starters! Try to ensure she avoids heavy, oily, and spicy foods that can aggravate Pitta and Vata doshas, which often affect the heart. Favoring warm, cooked meals which are easier to digest can be helpful. Sevya herbs like Arjuna have traditionally been used to support heart health, but you must consult the physician before introducing any herbs - especially in combination with prescribed meds.

Let’s not forget there's nausea and uneasiness too. It's quintessential to balance her digestive fire (Agni) which could be out of whack. Think light soups, ginger water but again, check with her doctor if those are fine, yeah?

At home, what might help is creating a serene environment for her to rest, minimize stressors. But please, prioritize the advice of her healthcare team over anything else. Be sure to keep close tabs on all symptoms and reach medical help if things go south. Her safety is numero uno.
