⚠️ WARNING / If you see #1, call 911 immediately
Five signs your heart's in trouble. Number one needs 911.
Sudden Weight Gain / 3+ pounds in a day
Number five. Sudden weight gain. Up three pounds or more in one day? That's not fat. It's fluid your body is holding. Weigh yourself each morning.
Swollen Legs or Ankles / Pitting edema
Number four. Swollen legs, ankles, or feet. Press the skin. If it leaves a dent that stays, that's fluid building up.
Shortness of Breath / Even at rest
Number three. Shortness of breath. Winded on the stairs, or even sitting still? Fluid may be backing up in your lungs. Tell your nurse.
Extreme Fatigue / Can't do daily tasks
Number two. Extreme tiredness. Worn out by easy things, like getting dressed or making lunch? Your heart may not be pumping enough, so your body runs low.
Chest Pain or Pressure / Call 911 immediately!
And number one. Chest pain or pressure. This is an emergency. Don't wait. Don't drive yourself. Call 911 right now.
