Wheezing is a sign of CHF also. Mom was hospitalized for CHF this past Oct. All this time, NO one told me to weigh her every day and if she gained more than 3 pounds in 2 days she was to be seen by a dr. or that if I notice high pitched wheezing, call the dr. Now I know this I weigh her daily and listen for the wheezing.
Yep, that’s all the managing part of CHF. MIL will do well with the weighing etc, but I have to get her to realize she can’t deny or minimize symptoms she’s starting to have or she’ll get into real trouble.
We were lucky this time that she didn’t awake at midnight so short of breath. They are twenty miles from the doctor or hospital so we don’t need a middle of the night crisis. In fact, we don’t need any crisis at all.
