Heart failure is a serious condition that occurs when your heart can’t pump out enough blood to meet the needs of your body. Conditions that overwork the heart include things like high blood pressure, heart valve disease, thyroid disease, kidney disease, diabetes, or heart defects you’ve had since you were born. The ineffective pumping also causes blood to back up in the veins that return blood to the heart.

Blood backs up all the way into the lungs, which causes them to become congested with fluid. Symptoms of heart failure include breathlessness, swelling in the ankles, weakness, and fatigue. The treatment lies in the management of the causative factor of the condition by your mother’s doctor.
