This is due to decreased blood flow to the stomach and intestines, as well as blood backing up in the liver. Despite this decreased appetite, heart failure patients may gain weight as they hold on to excess fluid. Sometimes nausea or vomiting and a feeling of fullness may accompany the loss of appetite. Tiredness People with heart failure tend to feel tired from even a small amount of activity. They'll also tire easily when they suffer from a lack of sleep.
Depression Feeling down or depressed is common for people with heart failure.
It's important to discuss these feelings with your doctor, family and friends. If you experience a fainting spell, a doctor or ambulance should be called. If you experience a racing or irregular heartbeat, let your doctor know as soon as possible.
