Four stages of congestive heart failure are Stage A, B, C, D. Stage A and B are pre heart failure stages when persons do not have symptoms but have predilection to heart failure such as Diabetes, Hypertension, obesity, alcohol abuse, heart blocks and family history of heart failure. Stage C is when persons have symptoms, diagnosed with heart failure and responding to treatment. Stage D is when persons have advanced symptoms that may not get better with treatment.

I'm really concerned because I had COVID about three months ago, and although Im better now, my chest still feels pretty heavy sometimes. At the beginning, my left hand felt numb, and I had palpitations, so I took Corbis 2.5 for about 10 days. The palpitations seem to be okay now, but the heaviness in my chest is still there, especially if I try to work out or lift heavy things. The intensity has decreased a bit, but it's still noticeable. I've had a bunch of tests like ECG, ECHO, D-dimer, CKMB, TNI, BNP, MYO, a chest X-ray, and PFT, all of which came back normal. Lately, Ive noticed that if I press on my chest, I hear a crackling sound like when you crack your knuckles. What could be causing this and what should I do about it?

That could be due to costochondritis,no need to worry take adequate rest and do breating excercises and also do use flexon tablet when you have severe pain
