| Congestive Heart Failure Treatment

You’re worried. We’ve got that. You’ve probably been fearful for years. We’ve got that too. You’ve seen doctors and specialists and maybe even voo-doo practitioners in your search for easy answers. We’ve got that too. You’ve tried every diet or exercise that you thought might help. We’ve got that too. You’re taking the drugs and maybe even facing recommendations for heart surgery. We’ve got that too.

Let’s unravel the mystery, so you could finally feel better rather than simply taking more drugs for congestive heart failure, shutting yourself in your home, and possibly closing in heart attacks, strokes, blindness, kidney failure, gangrene, and even one or more operations.

How would you know if the treatment you get is the treatment you need? After all, the doctor simply said “You need to start taking this medication for your heart (or your chest pains) (or your shortness of breath, whatever).” Incidentally, “congestive” heart failure simply means that the pumping your heart is doing to your body organs isn’t quite keeping up with blood returning to your heart. Your lungs and liver can become congested, your legs can swell, your muscles can ache, your breathing can become more difficult, your pulse can be pounding or irregular.

You’ve already started onto heart or blood pressure medications.  With the drugs, there’s a situation where you can “start chasing your tail,” requiring higher and higher dosages or the addition of more drugs, just to achieve the same result.  That sounds like slipping backwards, faster and faster.  Some patients are on half-a-dozen or more “heart” drugs and still troubled with congestive heart failure symptoms and distress.

None of these approaches actually “treat” your congestive heart failure – they are simply “bandaids” needed continuously or repeatedly, trying to cover the dysfunctions happening inside your heart muscle cells.  Many people never realize that other simple options … which might help you actually reduce the rate at which your condition worsens … and even could increase your activity and enhance your comfort … are readily available, here and now.
