Are mood swings symptoms of CHF?
Patient: My husband was diagnosed with CHF and sleep apnea last year.   He has mood swings and are getting worse by the day.  He sleeps a lot, does not do anything all day.  He is not on oxygen and is on a blood pressure medicine with a diuretic in it.   My question is...are mood swings a symptom of CHF?  Also, about 2 months ago, his lower legs became very swollen with a rash that went from his ankle to his mid calf.  He was told to go to the ER but he refused.  He says that they are better but my kids have found him "soaking" his legs in water.  What could this be? Doctor: HiThanks for using healthcare magicMood swings are not symptoms of CHF. It is symptoms of depression. May be due to physical complaints, he has underline depression. In that case, he needs psychiatrist consultation and that would help to control these mood swing. Swelling of both limbs could be due to CHF, in that case, he needs physician help. In case, you need further help, you can ask.Thanks
