Ive had congestive heart failure and its nothing to mess with.2 and a half years ago I had 5 bypasses,then after about 6 months started getting sick,feet swelling,so back to the hospital for a stent,then in another 6 months the same thing only that time it was 2 stents,then in about a year another stent.I take plavix,metropolol,lisinopril,simvastatin,and about 6 months ago found out I have diabetes.Now I take a shot most days or pills for diabetes too.I do feel quite a bit better than I did when I went in for bypass surgury.Im 53,but I spent 15 years driving a truck over the road.In 1996 my blood pressure was normal I weighed about 170 lbs.Then it started going up.Some kind of stuff called plaque gets in your arteries and plugs them up,which causes high blood pressure.Now I would go to the doctor,he would give me blood pressure pills,I would take them until they ran out and quit taking them because the would make me sleepy or something.I also gained weight to 200 lbs.I would have been way better off to keep taking them and maybe wouldnt have had the real high blood pressure that caused my heart to enlarge,and work so hard it got stiff,then have congestive heart failure.Like others said you need to eat real food thats not been cooked like fruit and vegetables for the vitamins,you need to exercise if you can.I also take some liquid vitamins which help.I tried taking vitamin pills but they arent as good as liquid.You dont want to overdo it,but walk when you can.I carried a cane at first,but now I dont.A thirty minute walk every day will make a big difference.Also oatmeal helps your cholesterol.A bowl of oatmeal every day for a month and you probably will loose weight if you dont eat it already.Do what the doctor says,but if your feet swell,maybe you need to see another doctor if he cant control that.I had to do that because the one doctor I went to was trying but the swelling was getting worse,the older doc gave me about double the dose of the same pill and my blood pressure went down,feet quit swelling.You need to get your blood checked a couple of times a year or more to see how your kidneys and liver are doing.You want to keep your blood pressure down to where it should be which seems to help everything in my case.If my blood pressure is high I dont feel much like exercising,my weight goes up,I feel worse.Oatmeal and exercise helps you feel better,at least it worked for me.Also if you dont have diabetes you might want to get checked for it.About half of the United States has Diabetes nowdays.I was drinking about 3 gallons of water,tea,or something a day.A couple of weeks after taking the shots I wasnt thirsty much any more which helped on water build up.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems.
