Tips for healthcare professionals
- Remind individuals that fatigue is a common symptom of heart failure and emphasize that it is ok to ask for help with daily tasks.
- Connect individuals with local community members or organizations that can provide support when they lack energy to shop to ensure they’re still able to nourish their bodies and maintain proper nutrition.
