Chronic heart failure occurs when the heart doesn't pump blood as well as it should. It's caused by conditions that overwork the heart, such as high blood pressure, heart valve disease, thyroid disease, kidney disease, diabetes, and heart defects from birth.
The treatment plan depends on the severity. Treatments can include diet modifications (eating less salt, limiting fluid intake), taking prescription medication, or surgery (for example, implantation of a pacemaker).

Male, 20s
My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Male, 50s
The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.

Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
