The symptoms can all happen together in the one person. More often, only one or two of the symptoms may appear in the early stages of heart failure. If you have heart failure, you should read this. You should know what it is. You and your family should talk about it.
Heart failure is serious, but it can be treated and controlled.
Your doctor can tell you. Your doctor will first decide if you have a disease of the heart. Your doctor will next decide if that heart disease has caused heart failure. There are other possible causes for the symptoms. So, you may not have either heart disease or heart failure.
