Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
well my name is Saul i have dyspnea short of breath , and im not strong to do exercise. i want to know if chf is dangerous in the future or i could die having CHF
Sorry Saul, but it is very serious. CHF is short for congestive heart failure and in short, that means that your heart is not pumping the blood correctly - like the engine in your car misfiring. It causes you to feel up with increased fluid in your lower extremities and then lungs. You need consistent good medical treatment from a cardiologist- you will probably be on hypertensive medication as well as a diuretic- which is a pill to eliminate fluid in your system and depending on what the cardiac tests show- at least two - 3 heart medications..... People can live long and healthy lives with CHF as long as they follow the prescribed meds and fluid limitations..... good luck to you--- please see a GOOD CARDIOLOGIST and preferably in the biggest city near you.
