Preventing Congestive Heart Failure In Women

In congestive heart failure, the woman’s heart isn’t pumping blood rich in oxygen as well as it should be doing. Symptoms of heart failure include chronic fatigue, weight gain due to fluid retention, coughing, shortness of breath, chest pain, an irregular heartbeat, fluid in the abdomen, appetite loss, and an inability to exercise. This is typically the result of heart muscle damage or stiff ventricles. Many conditions can damage the heart and lead to heart failure, including high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, heart attacks, cardiomyopathy, and arrhythmias.

Thankfully, there are many ways to prevent heart failure and cure it before it starts.
