What Causes Dizziness While Suffering From Congestive Heart Failure?
Hello, I have recently been diagnosed with stage 4 congestive heart failure, I am 51 years old walking is often even a task and sometimes at rest I will get dizzy and experience shortness of breath, the pain in my chest is very sharp as well. I know you don t have the exact answer, but I was wondering if even in this stage could I live another year or more?

Hello,
These symptoms are those of a congestive heart failure stage 4. Even normal life activities are compromised. The life expectancy is reduced. You should need medical treatment immediately.
Hope I have answered the question.
