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.

View allI'm a bit worried because my doctor said it's palpitation and my ECG came back normal. At the time, my heart rate was around 100 bpm, and they prescribed me medicine for 10 days. Now it's the fourth day, and I'm noticing my heart rate is sometimes above 100 or in the 90s, but when I wake up, it's around 80 or 78, and at night it's between 67 and 72 when I'm resting. How long do you think it'll take for my heart rate to stabilize back to normal? It's above 90 and sometimes even over 100 in the afternoon before it calms down.
The medication prescribed by your doctor is likely a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol. The usual dosage for heart palpitations is around 25-50mg twice daily. It may take a few weeks for the medication to fully regulate your heart rate. It is important to continue taking the medication as prescribed and follow up with your doctor for any concerns or adjustments to the treatment plan.

I'm really worried because I've been feeling breathless for the past two days and I've noticed swelling in my right leg and hand. I've been taking Dytor 40mg every day, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Could this be something serious? What should I do next?
It sounds like you might be experiencing fluid retention, which could be related to heart or kidney function. Since you're on Dytor without improvement, it's important to follow up with a doctor urgently for a thorough evaluation, including heart and kidney function tests, to determine the cause of your symptoms.

I've been noticing that when I exercise at the gym, my heart starts beating really fast, almost like it's racing. It seems to take a bit longer than I'd like for everything to calm down afterward. I had some blood work done, and everything came back normal, including my cholesterol levels. My cardiologist has mentioned that everything seems okay, but I'm still experiencing these palpitations. What should I do about this?
Palpitations during exercise can be concerning, even if your cardiologist has given you the all-clear. One possible cause could be anxiety or stress. I recommend trying a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) before exercising to help control your heart rate and reduce palpitations. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and avoid caffeine before working out. If the palpitations persist, it would be best to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation.
