See a clinician
Some causes of heart failure need medical care, not self-treatment. Seek help for any of these:
- Severe or sudden breathlessness, breathlessness at rest or lying flat, or waking gasping for air — seek urgent care.
- Chest pain, fainting, or a racing/irregular heartbeat.
- Rapid weight gain or swelling of legs/abdomen over days.
