Ask your Dr. what you need to monitor daily, like your weight. They should have given you perimeters for things to monitor in the mornings and when to call the Dr. There are good videos on this site that will give you info on managing symptoms which will give you a place to start. Good luck and welcome to the team.

@A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member In some cases it probably can. For most of us, it cannot be reversed but it can be managed. Talk to your doctor about your specific case and ask them if yours might be reversible. Sometimes fixing the underlying problem causing the heart failure can reverse it. For most of us, the best we can do is to manage it.

Yes, there are different stages of congestive heart failure, and symptoms can vary based on the severity. Your symptoms of fatigue, fluid retention, and bloating are common in heart failure. Here are some details:

- Fatigue: Feeling tired even with enough rest can be due to your heart not pumping enough blood to meet your body's needs.
