Perhaps I can clear this up.
Look, everyone swells up every now and then. After I eat chinese food I puff up like a blow fish.
The signs of congestive heart failure are:
1. Shortness of breath.
2. Persistent pitting edema in the arms or legs (especially around the wrists and ankles). Edema is "pitting" when you press the tissue and it doesn't immediately spring back to it original shape - it leaves a pit.
3. Reduced urine output.If you have these symptoms, it's time for a trip to the doc.
