Congestive Heart Failure Symptoms

The Most Common Congestive Heart Failure Symptoms?


In order to identify the most common congestive heart failure symptoms, you need to know what's happening with your body when you have this heart problem.

In congestive heart failure, the heart becomes very weak, unable to pump blood adequately to brain and lungs, causing various symptoms of heart failure and a common complication of severe hypertension and heart attack.

These various signs of congestive heart failure can be:

Congestive Heart Failure Symptoms

Shortness of breath or dyspnea, especially during a physical activity or an exercise.

Swelling of the legs, ankles, and feet. This symptom is also called edema.

Fatigue and weakness.

Coughing up white or pink phlegm.

Rapid weight gain from fluid retention.

Wheezing.

palpitations from abnormal heart rhythms - arrhythmia

Engorged neck veins.

Loss of consciousness or fainting - syncope.

Swelling of the abdomen from fluid overload.

Nausea.

Loss of appetite.

Poor concentration and diminished alertness.

These symptoms of heart failure can be a risk factor for other health problems.

For example, the scientists have shown that heart failure cause a variety of arrhythmias, when your heart would beat very quickly or very slow for a long period of time.

If this condition is not treated, small blood clots tend to form in your heart.

When these blood clots break loose and travel through your bloodstream to your brain, a stroke usually appear in a short time.


Another example of relationship between heart failure symptoms and other side effects is fainting. When a very slow or very rapid heart rhythm (arrhythmia) reduces blood circulation to your brain, you may develop fainting or syncope, and in severe cases you could become unconscious.


These signs of congestive heart failure should tell you something: go to the doctor as soon as possible! If you don't treat your heart failure, then the next thing that you can feel in your heart can be a very rapid rhythm, then a heart attack followed by sudden death.
