Congestive Heart Failure
According to the
American Heart Association, heart failure, also known as congestive heart
failure, is one of the most common causes of hospitalization for adults age 65
years and older. Congestive heart failure
occurs when the heart does not pump blood as efficiently as it should and
therefore is not able to meet the body’s blood and oxygen needs. Since the amount of blood pumped is not
adequate to circulate the blood returning to the heart from the body and lung,
it causes fluid (mostly water) to leak from capillary blood vessels. If left untreated, the condition can
worsen.
While symptoms of
the condition can vary, common signs of congestive heart failure include
fatigue and weakness, a reduced ability to exercise, swelling (edema) and
shortness of breath. The disease is
commonly caused by coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, disorders of
the heart valves, and other problems.
Less common causes include viruses or thyroid disorders.
If a person
already has heart disease, certain medications such as nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and calcium channel blockers can also cause
the condition to develop or become worse.
Also having diabetes as well as taking some of the drugs used to treat
type 2 diabetes can increase the risk of heart failure in some people.
The Mayo Clinic
explains that, “heart failure can involve the left side (left ventricle), right
side (right ventricle) or both sides of your heart. Generally, heart failure
begins with the left side, specifically the left ventricle — your heart's main
pumping chamber.” The disease is
diagnosed by a thorough physical exam, a series of laboratory tests, and a
patient’s medical history. If you have
the disease, you must carefully follow their doctor’s orders. Treatment includes reducing sodium in your
diet, lifestyle changes such as losing weight and managing stress, medications,
mechanical therapies, surgery or a heart transplant.

Hello everyone!! I'm Marilyn Here in the States and I'm here to talk about what Dr. James did for me. I have been suffering from (GENITAL HERPES VIRUS) disease for the past 4 years and had constant pain and itching, especially in my private part. During the first year. This disease started circulating all over my body and I have used Oregano oil, Coconut oil, Acyclovir, Val acyclovir, Acyclovir, and some other products and it really helped during my outbreaks but I totally got cured! From my HSV with a strong and active herbal medicine ordered from Dr. James herbal mix and it completely fought the virus from my nervous system, and I was tested negative after 15 days of using Dr. James herbal mix medicine. I'm here to let you all know that the herpes virus has a complete cure, I got rid of mine with the help of Dr. James herbal medicine. I came across a testimony of Tasha, on the internet testifying about Dr. James, on how he cured Her of 7 years HSV 2. And she also gave the email address of the great Dr. James (drjamesherbalmix@gmail.com...]..., advising anybody to contact him for help on any kind of diseases that he would be of help with, so I emailed him telling him about me (HSV 2) he told me not to worry that I'm going to be cured!! Well, I never doubted him. I have faith he can cure me too, Dr. James prepared and sent me his herbal mix medicine made of roots and herbs which I took. In the first one week, I started experiencing changes all over me, after 15 days I drank his herbal mix medicine, I was totally cured. No more inching, pain on me anymore as Dr. James assured me. After some time I went to my doctor to do another test. The result came out negative.
