Heart Failure Support Group
Heart failure is a condition that can result from any structural or functional cardiac disorder that impairs the ability of the heart to fill with or pump a sufficient amount of blood throughout the body. It is often undiagnosed due to a lack of a universally agreed definition and difficulties in diagnosis, particularly when the condition is considered "mild."

Is that time of the month or that time of the year?
In Xmas It is more difficult to control your salt and fluids intake ..
but if you are taking that amount of weight during a 2 or 3 days, do not doubt it, you should do something about it .. call your cardiologist, increase your diuretics or go to ER... in particular if you feel SOB or pain in chest.
