Fatigue and weakness

Well I go about my day and sometimes I get sick and my body gets weak alot!! It comes and go!! And I hate it when my feet swell and my feet gets inflamed!!

  1. Hello. I am sorry to hear that you are dealing with fatigue and weakness. It's an unfortunate and common symptom of heart failure that I and many others have had to deal with. It definitely leaves you feeling miserable and weak. I try to not pile too many tasks for myself and try to give myself grace when I do start feeling fatigued and weak. It's okay if we need breaks. What are you doing to fight the fatigue and weakness? -Olivia

      1. Good for you for getting your body moving when you can! Have you found exercises that you enjoy? Morgan (heart-failure.net Moderator)

      2. Hi there! Thanks for chiming in. I'm glad to hear that you are able to get out and take a walk when you feel up to it. How are you able to manage your heart failure and type 1 diabetes together? Do you find that you doctors work together to provide you the best care? Wishing you all the best, Lauren (team member)
