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.
It's when there is too much fluid build up in the body and the heart is having trouble pumping the blood around. Kind of like squirting water through water, it doesn't want to go and is bogged down.
The doc gives you diuretics to get the excess fluid out of the body so the heart can pump more efficiently.
