Question

Symptoms of CHF that indicate your condition has worsened include:
irregular heartbeat.
a cough that develops from congested lungs.
wheezing.
shortness of breath, which may indicate pulmonary edema.
YOu need to avoid water load and salt in excess 
Symptoms you may notice first include:

fatigue
swelling in your ankles, feet, and legs
weight gain
increased need to urinate, especially at night
There are several medications that can be used to treat CHF:

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors) open up narrowed blood vessels to improve blood flow. Vasodilators are another option if you cannot tolerate ACE inhibitors.
Beta-blockers can reduce blood pressure and slow a rapid heart rhythm.
Diuretics reduce your body?s fluid content. CHF can cause your body to retain more fluid than it should.
