Weakness and Lack of Energy
Severe arrhythmias and erratic or quick heartbeats can result from CHF. According to NCBI, heart failure-related arrhythmias can be brought on by myocardial ischemia, catecholamines, electrolyte imbalances, left ventricular dysfunction, and medications used to treat the condition.
The heart may beat faster to compensate for its diminished capacity to pump blood throughout the body efficiently. Patients might experience palpitations or a heartbeat that seems erratic or out of rhythm. A standard description of this is that the chest is hammering.
These are indications of weariness, one of CHF’s most prevalent symptoms. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or CDC mentions that about six million adults in the U.S. have heart failure, and many experience fatigue while performing ordinary domestic tasks.
The heart can’t pump enough blood as is needed to supply the body with all of its demands when heart failure worsens. Blood is diverted away from less-essential parts. Among those are the arms and legs, to supply the heart and brain to make up for this.
People with heart failure thus frequently experience fatigue and weakness. They may also have trouble completing daily tasks like walking, climbing stairs, or carrying groceries.
