Four stages of congestive heart failure are Stage A, B, C, D. Stage A and B are pre heart failure stages when persons do not have symptoms but have predilection to heart failure such as Diabetes, Hypertension, obesity, alcohol abuse, heart blocks and family history of heart failure. Stage C is when persons have symptoms, diagnosed with heart failure and responding to treatment. Stage D is when persons have advanced symptoms that may not get better with treatment.

I've been dealing with chest pain for quite a while now, and I just found out from an ECG that everything's normal. The pain isn't in one specific spot; sometimes it's on the left side, right side, or even lower down. Im starting to think it might be muscle-related. Is there something specific I can take for muscle pain? On top of that, I've noticed I get short of breath easily. I've been really inactive the past few months, barely moving at all, so Im wondering if this lack of exercise could be causing my stamina to drop and making me feel breathless. Could that be the case?

I've been prescribed Concor 2.5 for a week to help manage my panic attack symptoms, specifically the rapid heart rate and adrenaline rushes I get at night. Is it safe to continue taking it beyond a week? And if I decide to stop, is it okay to just quit all of a sudden? Also, is it alright to work out while I'm on Concor 2.5?

Better not to stop the tablet suddenly, since it may aggrevate the symptoms.u may require a cardiologist opinion for echo review. Exercise is not recommended ..
