What is CHF?
Congestive heart failure, also known simply as heart failure or HF, happens when the heart cannot pump enough blood and oxygen to support other organs in your body. Heart failure is a serious condition, but it does not mean that the heart has stopped beating.

Why PumpStrong.org
My name is Jon Sternfels and I was first diagnosed with CHF at 39 years of age. I developed the disease from a virus caught while dealing with the flu/pneumonia. At first, before I was diagnosed, I was ignoring the signs and symptoms of CHF. I was out of breath constantly doing small tasks and gaining an unusual amount of weight even though my appetite was missing.
I was also having trouble breathing and sleeping thru the night with rapid heart rate increases, all of which I chalked up to being out of shape, as I had taken some time away recently from working out, stress/anxiety and having the flu/pneumonia consecutive weeks in a row.
