Whats the longest someone could live with mild congestive heart failure (CHF)?
OK, let’s address this realistically. You have mild CHF. Congestive heart failure DOES NOT MEAN YOUR HEART IS FAILING. It means that it is not pumping blood as efficiently as it should. This is not an automatic death sentence by no means. The statistics you have read most likely are so high due to the fact that most people with CHF are elderly. Relatively speaking, you are young. The most important areas to concentrate on are your dietary habits, taking your medications as directed and exercising as much as your tolerance levels and doctors indicate. Do not allow stats or others to make you feel as though death is suddenly upon you. I know people who live near normal lives with this condition. As for your other health problems I can’t elaborate. I don’t know your history. I am strictly speaking here about the CHF. I wish you the very best and hope live a long prosperous life.
