Lately, I have been having shortness of breath with activity

or when lying down, sometimes it’s a cough that doesn't go

away or a cough that brings up white or pink mucus with
spots of blood.
Have you ever had any disease before?
Yes, I have coronary atherosclerosis
I think your previous illness has increased your risk of heart
failure. However, you need to do some tests to be sure.
Could you explain exactly what happens during a heart
failure?
Heart failure occurs when the heart muscle doesn’t pump blood
as well as it should. When this happens, blood often backs up
and fluid can build up in the lungs.
What are the symtoms of heart failure?
The most common symptoms of heart failure include of
shortness of breath, wheezing, fatigue, Feeling faint, weak, or
lightheaded
What should I do now?
You need to do some tests to be sure that it’s heart failure or not.
However, you should have a healthy diet and do exercise to
minimize more severe symptoms.
Thank you
