Congestive Heart Failure Symptoms
The team at Cavanagh Heart Center knows each heart-failure patient has unique symptoms and we tailor our treatments to meet those needs.
Congestive heart failure can cause discomfort because the heart becomes enlarged and can not pump effectively. Typical heart failure symptoms include:
- Weight Gain - Can happen either rapidly (overnight) or slowly over time (weeks or months); typically in the abdomen, feet or legs because the heart is not pumping efficiently.
- Shortness of Breath - A person may feel excessively tired or short of breath. They may reach a point where they can not do simple things such as move around their own home.
- Coughing or Choking - Can wake up during the night coughing or feeling as though they are choking. Most people develop a persistent cough over time.
