CHF

   Well my day did not go as planned.  I am in conjested heart failure again according to my doctor.  My legs are so swollen and I am havng some trouble breathing.  My inhaler didn't help me.  I called my doctor and if I can't get the fluid off by doubling my lasix I have to go into the hospital.  Drag big time as it is my floor I will have to be admitted to and I really don't want them to know I have this problem.

    My brother was 35 when he died.  My youngest sister is waiting for a heart transplant.  We have some sort of genitic cardiomyopathy in my family.  Supposenly since I am older then 40 I don't have to worry about getting that but I still have some cardiac problems.  They aren't sure if it is related or not.  I take a medicine everyday, HCTZ to help me get rid of the fluid but sometimes, when I drink to much water, Duh, it gets ahead of me and I have problems.  I was always hoping losing weight and exercising would make it go away.  Nurses are such bad patients, LOL. It is not good that I am young and having these problems I was told, I told her it was better that I was young because I could fight it better.  I will be better because this is about  the worse I have felt in awhile.  So much for exercising today.
