How do you manage congestive heart failure? Trying to figure out how to minimize symptoms. What medicines work for you to minimize symptoms.
So I have one cardiologist here on the East Coast telling me I have heart failure, and I had to see a cardiologist on the West Coast who tells me that I do not even have heart failure.
