What Is Congestive Heart Failure?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
5. Tiredness
The oxygen that we absorb from the air that we breathe helps our body’s cells to generate energy. This means that if there is not enough oxygen in the body, our cells will not be able to generate the energy that it needs. As a result, patients with congestive heart disease will often feel tired.
In addition to feeling tired even at rest, the patient will also feel more tired than usual after any amount of exercise. It is a symptom that is so mild that its barely noticeable at first, but it can become a lot more significant as the condition progresses.
