Heart Disease: Symptoms

Living with heart failure requires that you pay close attention to every change in your symptoms. Notify your doctor immediately if you notice a new symptom or a current symptom getting worse. Some changes to watch out for:

  • Sudden weight gain: Your doctor may tell you to report if you gain a certain amount of weight in a short amount of time. If you find that you have gained three pounds in one day or five pounds over one week, you should report that to your doctor.
  • Shortness of breath that is not related to any exercise or other exertion
  • Increased swelling in your legs or ankles
  • Pain or swelling in your abdomen
  • Sleeping trouble
  • Frequent dry or hacking cough
  • Loss of appetite
  • Constantly feeling tired
Your doctor will advise you if your symptoms require a change in medication or dosages. You should not make any adjustments to your medications without your doctor's approval.
