Hello,
First thing is to find out the cause of this weak heart function. We need to rule out the blockages, so I guess that was rule out.
In her medicine, she should get lasilactone dose increased. Cough is there due to excessive fluid in lungs so there should be fluid restriction including milk, water, tea, juices etc. to less than 1 litre per day.
She should have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly thrice a day for one week then once or twice a week. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity atleast 30 min a day and 5 days a week. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. There shouldn't abdominal fat deposition or obesity. Get your lipid profile and sugars tested once..
