How To Prevent Congestive Heart Failure


Congestive heart failure can be the ultimate result of a number of diseases, or lifestyle choices, that damage the heart. Some of these can be prevented. Others cannot be prevented but can be treated successfully.


Exercise like jogging can
prevent CHF



Some examples of illnesses or lifestyle choices that can lead to congestive heart failure are as follows:

Coronary heart disease (coronary artery disease), including heart attack

·         Uncontrolled high blood pressure (hypertension)

·         Uncontrolled high cholesterol

·         Diabetes

·         Congenital heart disease (a heart condition that one is born with)

·         Infection (particularly some common viruses that can rarely severely affect the heart and cannot be reliably predicted or prevented)

·         Damage to the heart valves (possibly from IV drug use)

·         Alcoholism

·         Smoking
In some cases, a family history of heart failure can be present. Many cases are a combination of factors, and in other cases, the cause is unknown.
If you have congestive heart failure, you are at increased risk of developing pneumonia. You probably should receive both the pneumonia vaccination and annual flu shots. Ask your health care provider to be sure.

    1. My dad was diagnosed with congestive heart failure (CHF) four years ago. He never smoked a day in his life. The only treatment he received after his diagnosis was oxygen. He was supposed to have been prescribed Esbriet but never received the prescription from the doctor. During the 2022 pandemic, I came across a herbal clinic on YouTube that caught my attention. I purchased the herbal products, and he used them for almost five months as instructed. To my greatest surprise, the herbal formula has successfully eliminated my dad's CHF condition. They promised us a total cure, but I did not believe it because all my life, we were told there was no cure for CHF. He's living proof that there is a cure for CHF. Many people are still suffering due to a lack of information about this disease; contact www. multivitamincare. org for congestive heart failure (CHF) treatment.

  2. Hi, Just letting you know that I have created an iPhone App for people with Congestive Heart Failure. It is designed for people who are instructed by their doctors to manage their fluid intake. It replaces a paper diary and can help you manage your fluid consumption by recording how much fluid is in the food and drinks you consume. It's called Fluid Calc. Have a look on iTunes if you're interested.

  3. I had my TL a little more than a year ago when my third child was born via c-section. I was not told ANYTHING about the possible side effects of having this procedure. Since then I have experienced heavy bleeding lasting sometimes 3 weeks out of the month, weight gain, severe mood swings. Severe cramping, changes to my libido, severe depression accompanied by suicidal thoughts, headaches, migraines, many new symptoms & older issues are now exacerbated. The father of two of my children doesn't want me anymore. I've become too much of a pain in the ass I guess. We don't talk. We don't sleep in the same bed. I think he might really think I am crazy... & maybe I am. I feel crazy a lot of the time.
    I'm unpredictable. I feel so angry about the whole thing & now what was once a mild fear of doctors has exploded into full on white coat syndrome that causes me to have a panic attack/hypertensive emergency (severe increase in blood pressure) whenever I have to deal with them. I'm not sure what to do... I fear the next time I have to see a doctor I'll have a stroke or a heart attack from the stress & anxiety of it... what do I do? I take my time and keep searching on internet looking for natural healing that how I came across Dr Itua herbal center website and I was so excited when Dr Itua told me to calm down that he will help me with his natural remedy I put my hope on him so I purchase his herbal medicines which was shipped to my address I used it as prescribed guess what? I'm totally healed my cramp pain is gone completely I also used his Anti Bacteria herbal medicines it's works for me very well I want anyone with health problem to contact Dr Itua herbal center for any kind diseases remedies such as Parkinson, Herpes, ALS, MS, Diabetes, Hepatitis, Hiv/Aids,Cancers, Men & Women Infertility, I got his email address  drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com he has any kind of herbal remedies for women & men also for our babes. I really miss my Hunni...he's a fantastic father & a good man. He doesn't deserve this. I feel like an empty shell of who I used to be.

  4. I was diagnosed with Myasthenia Agravis (MG) in 2011 after the birth of my daughter. My symptoms included but were not limited to drooped eyelids, slurred speech and severe fatigue. It took doctor months to finally diagnose the problem. MY symptoms started as early as 2005 with fatigue. I had the Thymectomy surgery in 2009. It helped but not a cure as hoped. I started out taking Multivitamin Herbal Cure natural organic herbs that I saw on YouTube comment. The herbal products were taken 2 times daily morning and evening after meals with a teaspoon because it was liquid herbs. The herbal cured my Myasthenia gravis (MG) which surprise my doctor as well. There is no conventional treatment for this disease, but there is a herbal approach that has worked in treating the disease. This mg herbal treatment is a modern-day version of this herbal approach that has worked in effectively reversing MG across Africa and the Uk for centuries I still feel fatigued sometimes but the double vision and difficulty speaking stop totally. Overall I live a normal lifestyle now. I have been on my job in retail management for 10+ years and have never missed time off due to MG, a blessing.
