What is the scariest symptom of heart failure?

Hi Susan, I'm so sorry to learn that you experience weakness. Heart failure can have some rough symptoms. Do you feel weak often? -Lauren (Team member)

Hi Susan, just checking in to see how you have been feeling. I hope that you are feeling on the up and up. All the best, Lauren (Team member)

Thank you for sharing with us. I understand the feeling like you're going to pass out I passed out twice while dealing with my heart failure. Unfortunately, it led to 2 strokes. I felt this way when I had arrhythmia too just constantly on alert. How do you manage it without driving yourself crazy? -Olivia

Hello, finally I hear of someone else who has gotten dizzy just sitting down. It happened to me when I was in with the PA for my cardiologist but she didn't seem to concerned about it. Did you ever get an answer on why it happens to you?

Hi there, thanks for joining the conversation. How long ago was your heart attack? How are you making out today? I hope you are doing well. -Lauren (Team member)

I don't know when to ask for help or to even want to prolong this trial. I have chest pain every night before I go to bed.i have muscle aches in my right arm, too. Are they related? O don't feel that I have anyone too talk to able my concerns. I hope this foum can heip.

Thank you for sharing. Have you shared these symptoms with your medical team? That is always the first place that we recommend you go for guidance on symptoms. Have you asked them? For the right arm pain, I've had that as well and I was told that right arm pain is not typically cardiac related, but never say never!!! Does the pain coincide with chest pain? These are all important pieces of information for your medical team. Also, as far as muscle aches, I can say that I have those as well, and potassium and magnesium supplements have helped. Are you on diuretics' as well? I hope this helps! Morgan (heart-failure.net Moderator)
