Patient's question:
Chest tightness and shortness of breath accompanied by coughing at night, recurrent swelling in the lower limbs recently, with some improvement at night. Is it heart failure? Two years ago, I was diagnosed with rheumatic heart disease. Are there any specific medications for heart failure?Doctor's answer:
For this situation, if your symptoms recur frequently, it is highly likely that heart failure is a possibility. However, do not make hasty assumptions. It is best to go to the hospital for a thorough examination before making any conclusions about the condition. Then, treatment with medications for heart failure can be considered. There are quite a few different types of medications for heart failure, so it is recommended to undergo a thorough examination at the hospital and take these medications under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, consuming more vitamins can also be very helpful.
