Recently out of hospital with extra medication for heart failure. Now starting to focus on change of lifestyle including healthy eating fluid restrictions and exercise
Feel it’s important not to wrap yourself in cotton wool and enjoy life within heart failure limitations
Just setting out on the path
good for you, Fluid restrictions??? Make sure you are hydrated!
Yes fluid reduced to 1.5 to 2 litres a day. Apparently reduces blood volume and helps heart
How are you finding it? It was a struggle, dry mouth all day on the 1.5l for me 
Guess it depends why you might be on fuild restrictions. I was restricted in hospital to help raise sodium & potassium levels (i.e. not dilute their concentration). But yes, keep hydrated - maybe a Goldilocks approach (not too much, not too little, just right)? 
Yeah, you can get loads of fluid retention with heart failure, fresh out of hospital i had to be put back on furosemide to get the fluid from my lungs, tummy and legs/ankles. The specialist let me increase from 1.5l to 2l over the first 2 months, now i can handle a bit more and manage it with furosemide if and when i need too... I was told this is common in severe heart failure.

Heart failure, seven years on
Severe Heart Failure 
Is Diastolic Dysfunction classed as heart disease? 
Why is it called heart failure?
