live a healthy lifestyle, monitor your health for new or worsening heart failure signs or symptoms, and keep your medical appointments. Your doctor or nurse will tell you how often to visit.
If you are having any of the symptoms described in this handout, DO NOT wait for your next appointment to tell your doctor or nurse. If your symptoms are discovered early, your doctor or nurse may change your medications to relieve your symptoms. (Do not change or stop taking your medications without first talking to your doctor or nurse.)
