<s>[INST] What are the signs and symptoms of heart failure? [/INST] Usually, heart failure symptoms develop over time. Typical signs include decreased exercise tolerance, leg and/or abdominal swelling, a cough that doesn’t go away, shortness of breath, or unusual fatigue.

If you’ve noticed these symptoms, I recommend scheduling an appointment with a primary care doctor. They’ll be able to help determine if your symptoms could be due to a heart problem or something else, like bronchitis. If a heart condition is suspected, they’ll work closely with a cardiologist like me for additional expertise. Source: HEALTH PARTNERS.
