10 Symptoms of Congestive Heart Failure
Symptom #2: Feet Swelling
There are numerous fluids flowing throughout our bodies, performing various functions. These fluids are often circulated around the body with help of the heart and are cleaned up when necessary by the kidneys and liver.
When a heart is not performing at full effectiveness, however, these fluids are not circulated or eliminated as they should be. This can cause a buildup of excess fluids in the body and gravity causes them to pool at the feet and lower legs. This swelling can be very noticeable and can even make it difficult to wear shoes and socks.
