If you think of your body as any other pump, if fluid does not move well through the system, then it will back up into other spaces. When blood backs up it puts a lot of pressure on the blood vessels, which forces fluid to leak out into the nearby tissue. With CHF, this fluid usually moves into your lungs, legs, or abdomen. The signs of worsening CHF include decreased energy level, shortness of breath during your normal routine, increased swelling to your legs and feet, your clothes feel tight, or a wet sounding cough. Call the office if these symptoms occur. Weigh yourself every morning at the same time. If you have a 3 pound weight gain in 24 hours, or a 5 pound weight gain over a week, you should call the office. Exercise and maintaining a normal weight is very important. You should try to exercise at least 20-30 minutes a day, more if possible. Start slow with walking. Decrease your salt intake. Do not add any extra salt to foods. Salt makes you retain fluid, and it makes you want to drink more fluid. Avoid fast food and prepared food as they are usually very high in sodium. If you notice your legs swelling, elevate them up and rest. Do not drink alcohol and continue to avoid smoking or second hand smoke. Take your medications as directed, with water. Do not stop them abruptly or skip doses. I have started you on a medication for depression. It can take 2 weeks to start to feel it working and up to a month until you can fell the real benefits. If you start to feel more depressed, like you want to harm yourself or others, please contact me right away or got to the ER. Referrals: may refer based on lab results Follow up: return to office in 2 weeks Additional lab results: Echo results: LVEF 39% BNP – 682 pg/ml Questions: You determine the medications for CHF/ASCVD · According to the ACC/AHA Guidelines, what is BJ’s heart failure stage? · According to the ACC/AHA Guidelines, what medications should BJ be prescribed? Does she need medication given her history of MI? Write her complete prescriptions using the prescription writing format.
