If you experience weakness, increased cough or sputum production, a sudden and unexplained weight gain or swelling, call your WellStar physician. But if you experience severe and crushing chest pain, fainting, or rapid and irregular heartbeat, go immediately to the emergency room.
Congestive heart failure is common. About 5.7 million people in the United States experience heart failure. It results in about 300,000 deaths each year.
