Concerning: Watch for fluid intake, salt intake on a daily basis. Use the same scale and at the same time of the day. Gaining weight could mean she is retaining fluid and will need to talk to her doc.

CHF: Weight may fluctuate in patients with congestive heart failure (chf), often due to changes in fluid retention. She needs to discuss the current and expected weight variations with her physician. In addition, the physician can address prognosis.
