If it is congestive heart failure you are talking about……work with your doctor as far a medicines are concerned. Watch your diet…..stay away from salt….period!!!!! Salt is not your friend with CHF. Elevate your legs & feet when sitting….sleep in your bed at night time. I have been in CHF 3 times…..it is not a death sentence as long as you take your meds, stay away from salt…..keep your legs elevated when sitting. You can work on CHF with your doctor & usually have good results. Good luck !!!!!

A question I thought I had under control,stopped smoking + - 18 years ago,diet questionable with finances ate smaller portions of this diet? Walk plus minus 2.5 kilometers every 3rd day,did some cooking for family and still had a heart attack on the 25th of November 2022 received a stent,have to return 17th of February for a follow-up appointment to arrange a date for my next stent.
I realized only God has the answers.
