<s>[INST] Congestive Heart Failure Symptoms [/INST] Common symptoms of heart failure may slowly progress or suddenly start, indicating signs of congestive heart failure. If left untreated, congestive heart failure symptoms progressively worsen over time. Common symptoms of heart failure include:

Swelling, often in the legs and ankles
Shortness of breath, especially during physical activity or when lying down
Weight gain
Weakness and fatigue
Nausea, abdominal pain and loss of appetite
Ongoing cough
Weight gain of more than two pounds overnight or five pounds in a week
All of these symptoms are common to many medical conditions and may not indicate heart failure. If you experience any of these symptoms or have concerns, consult your doctor.
