I already get very swollen feet and calves with deep pitting. I am now however notice I am getting quite plump around the waist. How can I tell if this is due to eating to many calories, or is more heart failure fluid retention? It has only occurred over the last few months. If I push my finger in, there is about half an inch of soft fat then it is hard. I eat little but feel like I have stuffed so much food that I will burst, but still feel hungry. I am looking like a heavy drinking yet have had less than ten pints this year.
I have up to 49% Occlusion of the mid LAD, and my right atrium is 175% the average for a male.
