My mom was diagnosed with heart failure 20 years ago. She is 81 now. She has had many good years. She lives on the second floor and climbs the stairs (carefully) several times a week. She loves to go to the beach and stand barefoot in the sand. She also loves to ride the cart around Costco for the free samples. She takes the dog out and sometimes goes to the senior center for lunch. I'm not writing this to brag. I'm only saying... if there is the heart failure diagnosis, don't give up. My mom fought off cancer, even after the diagnosis of 75% heart failure. Cancer free for over 5 years. (She had a mastectomy.) She also had her heart stop. They recessitated her and she was on life support for three days. That was 10 years ago. So, though it is true, many don't get much time after the diagnosis, some people can still live many good years. Don't give up. ❤❤❤❤❤

My husband passed last Tuesday. We were going to het something to eat when he started complaining about being very hot. I opened the windows but he kept complaining about being hot. He then tore his shirt off and was gasping for air. He said" I cant breathe" and was calling for his mother to help him. I was high tailing it to the hospital doing 80mph cause when i called 911 they had put us on hold . (A damn shame). It took me 10 minutes to get to the hospital. When i arrived at emergency I ran in there screaming "help help my husband is having a heart attack"!. He went into a seizure foaming at the mouth. They put him on the table trying to rececitate him but after 25 minutes they were unsuccessful. My husband was suffering for a long time and he wanted me to be with him always. I'm glad I was there to try to help him..... After 25 minutes they had to call his time of death. May Derrick Ramey R.I.P. I'm gonna miss you so very much.....Now you don't have to suffer anymore.... See you next lifetime. ❤❤❤❤

I was diagnosed with end stage heart failure at 44yrs. Had pacemaker defibrillator installed with EF factor of only 15 percent. In 2014 the Dr's wanted to install a VAD. This is an external heart pump. I refused! Now at 61 I'm still doing well! I go canoe camping and alot of portageing! I enjoy life and hope this brings a little encouragement to others out there! I believe that my Lord Jesus is the one who keeps me here to be the caregiver for my wife who had a hemorrhagic stroke!

She chose hospital because she doesn't want her children to find her dead 😢 she has every single one of these symptoms and about 18 mos or more ago she was given about 18 mos give or take to live. Shes in better spirits today as shes in hospital getting help. But a heart that weak cannot afford to die😢 pray for her to go be with Jesus❤ i am not ready to lose my best friend 😢

My husband passed in February, 2 years ago. We had gone to ER twice when he had chest pain & shortness of breath. He WAS a very positive, busy man. Last ER visit was November they did the "test" to see if he had had a heart attack. He was cleared but never felt well after that. He got more & more short of breath, tired & feverish/sweaty. I wanted to take him to ER but (as I saw 1st hand) they would just "dismiss" him. This was extremely frustrating! Not even an over night for observation. His "stress test" in October was "fine" but he got worse in the following months. After like 5 ER & Dr visits it was very degrading NOT to be listened to or taken seriously. 😕 I feel he was ignored and feel so sorry for ANYONE experiencing the same issues.

My husband died of heart failure and CAD 10 years ago. At the time I didn't understand what he was going through. Near the end, he had no appetite, would not eat anything. That really bothered me, as I blamed myself that the food I was preparing wasn't what he wanted or needed. Near the end, he was sleeping most of the time. I always expected that he would get better. He died quietly in his sleep. I hadn't expected that he would die. I miss him so much. Your video explains a lot. Thank you.

My local GP diagnosed me with heart failure on the basis of swollen ankles. No BP or pulse measurement, no blood tests, no history other than my date of birth. At the time I was cycling 15 miles/day and as fit as a fiddle. 15 years later, I'm still not dead and the oedema in the lower legs was caused by a thyroid problem.

I know this doesn’t really make a terribly sad situation any better but sometimes it’s better to die of a heart issue than to live til an old age and get dementia. My mom is 90 and has moderate dementia - she is aware of it and she hates it - she’s ready to go. There is longevity on both sides of my family but honestly if I could just go in my late 70s, or when I can’t get around too well anymore, that would be ideal. But God has a plan for all of us and I trust Him and know that He will do what is best.

Well, my mother passed around the Holidays of 2023, and she had CHF too -- but it was well-managed. However, she had some stomach pains, and I should have taken her to hospital ... But, like you say, I didn't know that her having a "very mild" stomach pain, could be a sign of something else. Yet, I gave her pepto and it seemed to make her tummy feel better. So, I called nurseline and they said to bring her in -- in few days -- if it "doesn't get better". Well, next day, Mum said it was better, so I didn't take her in. But, she ate, drank fluids, and everything normal. Then, she passed over the weekend of that week -- right at Christmas Eve. So, point is, @Nemo, you might could have had more time, and you might not could have either. In your situation, you did nothing wrong -- coming from someone who keeps going through the "shoulda, coulda, woulda" daily. So, don't fault yourself. You kept her alive to that date, as I did my Mum, and we both shouldn't blame ourselves. Because the disease or condition did it, not us. Do you know what I mean?

@@PoeLemic Thank you. You are correct. We may not be doctors but doctors also make mistakes. Our bodies are always sending us messages. Every little ache and pain means something, sometimes important, sometimes insignificant. A correct diagnosis can often be very important. I had an appointment with my doctor yesterday and we can communicate with each other. We also agreed that preventing a major medical event isn't as dramatic as a life-saving operation but is often more important. Oh, I also promised to follow his instructions this time.

Hello my first born son has been diagnosed with Heart Failure and has had a pacemaker and defibrillator inserted in his chest. We went and got a 2nd opinion from a Professor at Nepean Hospital, Kingswood NSW Australia. My son is only 45yo. He was fine until he was made have the COVID vaccines 1st one was because he couldn't work, and he ended up so ill for 10 days and lost his job anyway. The 2nd time he was made get the COVID shot was because he was homeless and the Refuge would not allow him to enter without the shot. He ended up being put in an emergency hostel for 10 days. He has never been the same. He was short of breath and thought it was panic attacks until he got to the point that he called the ambulance and it was only then that he was told that his heart was at 16% function, and if it dropped to 10% he would be dead. Anyway, that was 9th November 2023. I am very worried for him. He had to move back home as he lost his job and became homeless. He doesn't like living at home with his parents as he wants his own place to have some peace. I dont know what I can do to help him at all.

Just love him and be kind to him. A. Good diet....very little red meat or carbs. Give him fresh salads or whatever he fancies . No fatty food . Eggs and cheese, salmon and bananas are good and some dark chocolate. COVID vaccines damaged my husband too. Fresh air and a little exercise and plenty of pillows and get him an adjustable bed so the feet can be raised higher than the heart at night. He needs taken care of now he can no longer care for himself. Make the room attractive with pot plants etc. He will soon realise he is best off with you.

I am a very active 73-year old lady who, 2 weeks ago was diagnosed with CHF. My only symptom was shortness of breath and after medics assuming it was asthma, a blood test confirmed CHF as the BNP test came back at 2819 instead of less than 400. The shock was immeasurable as I had no other symptoms. By coincidence, I had nursed my husband with CHF although he lived very happily with a defibrillator for 24 years until he died in April 2019 so know only too well the stages. It only took 3 weeks of rapid deterioration and final few days in a hospice - I can't thank all the services enough from the bottom of my heart.

My husband is on end of life hospice.. No one actually said it was CHF. All we knew is Oct 2023 he had a transplant and his heart passed all the tests. After he came home, they found a herniated intestine they had to fix. Then he got a UTI. Then, his heart could no longer pump blood from his feet to the rest of his body. I think his nurse thought we knew all the symptoms. After hours of straight coughing last night I ran across this so finally have answers so can better help him.

I'm 42. At 30 I had massive heart attack. After 4 heart attacks and 9 heart caths. I was doing fine. Until 34. Legs swelled up went to hospital was told I have congestive heart failure. Few years later at 37 had emergency open heart surgery 5 bypass. While recovering from that about 6 months out. Everything started getting worse. I figured it was complications from heart surgery. I could breathe. Or take 5 steps without going down. Went to doctor. He ran some tests. Again. 6 months after the bypass it failed. 4 of the 5 was 99 percent blocked. He said the whole right side of heart had failed. And bottom. He put it about 85 percent failed. 4 more heart attacks 7 hospital visits after and they kept sending me home. With no awnser. I have been in end stage close 2 years. I went to doctor last week. He is sending me to KU med Heart Transplant team. If they help me great. If not Hospice. I'm only 42

I got a new heart...that ended my heart failure. 😊 You may also get a sharpe pain in the center of the back through chest. I had that because the fluid was backing up in my lungs. Alleviated that by meds for releasing the fluid--diuretics. Thankfully as a youth I was a runner so I believe that primed my body to hold out for twenty years before I got the transplant. My appetite left, I was eating one small container of yogurt a day, would get out of bed in the morning, go downstairs, eat, watch tv, use the bathroom and go back upstairs at night. Your body does get used to doing things in slowmo though, so as long as I paced myself I didn't have lot of issues until the end. A few times my heart began stopping as I was slowly walking upstairs and I would go to my knees--mostly from dizziness--with my head lower than my heart, pound on my chest with a fist and breath deep and slow. Within a few seconds the vice I felt around my chest would ease and my breathing and heartbeat would correct. God had other plans for me though and I am so appreciative for the time.❤️

One of the nice things about Hospice is that they can get you anything you need free. Example: a free hospital bed for when you can no longer lie flat to breathe. They also will know when you need your medication changed to help you. If and when you are close to the end and suffering, panic to get air from every breath, they can give you meds to greatly relieve that suffering. With Hospice, lot of folks choose to die at home too. I know. I was a Hospice RN for a long time.

Very good video but I have had Atrial Fibrillation for decades and was diagnosed with "congestive heart failure" 25 years ago and I'm still here. Last year I was short of breath and had a wheeze but a very good doctor prescribed 1mg Bumentanide, 10mg Dapagliflozin and 5mg Bisoprolol Fumerate on top of the 3mh Warfarin and 20mg Enalapril I take daily, which seems to have given me a new lease of life. Being told you have "heart failure" is enough to frighten some people to death but I'm now in my eighties and keep working physically, which I think is a recipe for staving off the problem. Perhaps I shall be proved wrong but I hope to be still alive in at least five year's time.

Thank You. I have many of these symptoms, and been diagnosed with CHF. You seem to be the only one that has the guts to let us know what to expect. I have no idea why medical professionals tap-dance around this subject, because I WANT to know what is around the corner! At this point, my wife and I are making the best of the situation, but in plain (mechanic's) terms, I wouldn't want to blindly start a cross-country trip driving a car with a severe rod knock... better to stay home and be careful to nurse it's remaining miles doing that which is important. God Bless.

A cough. The cough is like a dry heave. Sweats even when the room is cold. Chest pain a lot like you slept on the wrong side but are unable to relieve the pain by stretching and movement that typically helps. My symptom just before I drove the ER. In the ER my BP skyrocketed. More chest pain that medications did not touch. Once nitroglycerin was taken the pain subsided. After meeting a cardiologist in the ER my heart failed and I died. Paddles brought me back and I was rushed to surgery for a heart stent. That was over 13 years ago. Still alive and enjoying life.

I guess my question is that once your diagnosed with heart failure is that basically a death sentence, that the heart will die no matter the treatment aggression?? Thank you

I was disgnosed with congestive heart failure. I can only sleep 3 hours per night, often no sleep. It is because mainly because of caughing. Caugh drops are so temporary. I have to blow my stuffy nose often,as well .During the day, l have no energy, just watch tv, and play games on my cellphone .l am confused, forgetful and a bit depressed .People are nice to me, but l don't want to be around them, much-- to annoying explaining to them , their inquisitive questions. Any advice, please ?

SUZI, THIS IS IMPORTANT: If you can raise the head of your bed, or pile pillows so you are almost sitting up or sleep in a recliner, the fluid in your lungs will drain back into the bottom of your lungs, and you can breathe better with more clear upper lungs, and your coughing will be a lot less, so you can sleep more. I'm a retired RN and know this works. When you lie normally flat in bed, the fluid spreads out over the lungs so that you aren't getting enough oxygen and you cough a lot trying to cough the fluid out from your lungs. I'm 80, recently learned I have heart failure, am weak as water except when sitting, and I know exactly how you feel. Try not to drink more than 2 quarts of liquid a day. Take your pee pills for sure. Your main runny nose and coughing is simply fluid that your body is having trouble getting rid of now due to the heart not pumping hard enough to keep the blood moving fast through the body. So fluid seeps out of the blood vessels and goes to your legs, lungs and nose. Yuk.

So many comments here are by persons personally diagnosed with heart failure. It would be very helpful to mention what can be done to alleviate distressing terminal symptoms. As it is this leaves me more afraid than ever.

How can anyone like this video when it is so brutally depressing. Yes, you’re very clear, very clear. All right sister. I got five years or less and don’t get any better than it is today. It’s time to party.

In 2019 I was told I have Chronic Heart Failure. This is due to a DNA defect or genes. A few months ago I was told the left side of my heart has now started to give up. It pumps every now and then and when it does pump it is very week. I took a nuclear test and they found the blood was flowing into my lungs at a rate of 106 mil-a-bars. Fatigue is getting worse. I am now sleeping a lot in the afternoons. But I refuse to slow down. Last year I rode or pedaled my bicycle 4100 miles. I should mention I am also recovering after being hit by a truck riding said bicycle Nov 1st of 2022. It was in the down time from this accident the left side of my heart has grown weaker. I am told do not stop exercising for this is the only thing keeping me alive. I am 64. Now I understand the fatigue. I keep telling my doctor and she says nothing about it. But I get it, I would not want to tell someone your days are running short. But thank you for this information is what I was looking for. I also get chest pains a lot.

I was diagnosed with CHF about 20 years ago. 5 years ago I learned I have Polycystic Kidney Disease and COPD. I learned of Dr Esselstein’s books on heart disease and how you can feel so much better and even reverse heart disease with a plant based diet of zero oil, zero sugar and zero salt, and no animal products. I follow his way of eating. Yes, it is a strict diet but his recipes as well as his families’ recipes are very good. My cardiologist and nephrologist recommend this way of eating also. There is not too much that the Drs can do for CHF, but meds. For PKD there really isn’t anything either, even less than for heart disease. So, look into it, as it could very well help you too.
