*Here Are A Few Tips On Heart Failure From The American Heart Association.
What is Congestive Heart Failure?
If you have congestive heart failure, you’re
not alone. About 5.0 million Americans are
living with it today. In fact, it’s one of the
most common reasons people 65 and older
go into the hospital. It can take years for
heart failure to develop. So if you don’t yet
have it but are at risk for it, you should make
lifestyle changes now to prevent it!
Heart failure can get worse if it’s not treated.
It’s very important to do what your doctor
tells you to do. When you make healthy
changes, you can feel a lot better and enjoy
life much more!
What can happen?
• Heart does not pump enough blood.
• Blood backs up in veins.
• Fluid builds up, causing swelling in feet,
ankles and legs. This is called “edema.”
• Body holds too much fluid.
• Fluid builds up in lungs, called “pulmonary
congestion.”
• Body does not get enough blood, food
and oxygen.
What are the signs?
• Shortness of breath, especially when lying
down
• Tired, run-down feeling
• Swelling in feet, ankles and legs
• Weight gain from fluid buildup
• Confusion or can’t think clearly
How is it treated?
• Rest.
• Eat less salt and fewer salty foods.
• Surgery may be needed, in some cases.
• Your doctor may give you medicine to
strengthen your heart and water pills to
help your body let go of fluids.
What can I do?
• Follow your doctor’s advice.
• Take your medicine the way you should.
• Weigh daily to check for increased fluid.
Eat a healthful diet that’s low in salt and
saturated fat.
