A member asked:
Can i have congestive heart failure if my bp is 114/66?

Yes: Heart failure is due to failure of heart to pump blood forward at suffient rate to meet metabolic demands of the body or ability to do so only at abnormally high cardiac filling pressures. To keep the BP normal other parts of the body organs needs to compensate!

Yes: you may still have congestive heart failure. The blood pressure is just a number, but for someone to have CHF they would be having shortness of breath, cant really sleep flat in bed at night, they would experience chest pain, swollen lower extremities, etc
