Cardiac

Early HF Symptoms

For years I had trouble walking distances without stopping to rest but thought of it as merely an inconvenience. And I'd had mildly swollen feet and ankles for years tho no one seemed excited about it.

i only noticed really getting out of breath during heavy exercise and getting winded when tying my shoe laces.

Shortness of breath, fatigue and struggling to walk flights of stairs without having to sit down (normally quite fit 5k a day and hit classes so seemed bizarre) mri caught heart failure

MRI
