A member asked:

What happens if you are md or if you yourself suffer from chf & severe edema-please reply?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Md=?: By md, do you mean medical doctor or muscular dystrophy? Regardless, in either case, get established with a heart failure specialist. I'm sure Orlando has one (near you) or the Cleveland Clinic in Weston, FL is 250 miles from you.
