Helen, I have had it for almost 10 years now and I do my best to take care of myself to keep it from getting worse. I have left-side (diastolic) heart failure and my heart pumps okay but is stiff and does not fill. I have the same symptoms as you but not as many options for treatment. I walk most days (less now that I need a pacemaker) and have some shortness of breath. Some days will be worse than others and you should exercise as much as you can. Stretching or chair yoga is a good thing to keep your body in shape without taxing your heart as much and causing the SOB. I struggle with inclines too so I try my best to walk on level ground whenever possible. That is tough because I live in a very hilly area but I find places like the park to walk. I also bought a stationary bike and ride that is much easier on me than walking and helps keep me fit. Do what you can and eat a low-salt diet, take the meds and slowly you will feel better. Like I said, some days will be better, others not so much. Rest on the days that you need to and do what you can when you can. I am doing pretty well despite the heart failure. I hope this helps and I am here to talk if you need me. Hugs🤗

I meant chf spell correct corrected me again

I've had cut since 2019. At times I'm also tired and anxious. I take one day at a time. I still try to stay active.

Thank you. I have great trust in the Lord,

I've had my heart failure for 15 years now, and I get those same symptoms, I also have afib, which is the one that bothers me the most. There's a good day and challenging day, but the Lord always sustains.
