Hello,
Could you list some of the symptoms of congestive heart failure?
Thanking you in advance,
Answer-------
Symptoms of congestive heart failure include tiredness (fatigue), shortness of breath with exertion progressing to shortness of breath at rest, inability to sleep without raising your head with increasing numbers of pillows, awakening at night with a feeling of "smothering", and swelling of the ankles and legs.
I trust this answers your question.
