A member asked:
Is it possible to be experiencing heart failure with shortness of breath without significant swelling of the feet or hands?

Yes: Probably early CHF based on those historical facts although your f.P. Will need to work up other diagnoses.

CHF : Shortness of breath is a left heart failure symptom. Swelling of feet/hands is a right heart failure finding. Peripheral edema can appear long after shortness of breath when right heart failure is due to left heart failure.
