Are your ankles swollen, and you feel fatigued? CHF may mean your heart isn’t pumping efficiently.
CHF occurs when the heart can’t pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs, leading to fluid buildup in the lungs or extremities. It can result from heart disease, high blood pressure, or valve issues.
Common Symptoms
Shortness of breath
Swollen legs or ankles
Rapid weight gain from fluid retention
Fatigue or weakness
Persistent coughing or wheezing
When to see a Cardiologist
