Congestive Heart Failure Stages & Life Expectancy

Stage 2

Congestive heart failure at stage 2 might have some minor symptoms, but they have not affected your body much. You often feel comfortable when resting or sleeping. However, normal physical activities would lead to some health issues, such as shortness of breath, palpitations, and tiredness. While people with stage 2 often have some heart complications, there are actually no definitive signs of heart failure. Your doctor would suggest the reduction of workload and some lifestyle changes to improve your condition. [5]
