Your Body Is Speaking
Your legs are swelling. By evening the shoes don't fit anymore, the ankles are puffed up, and sometimes you feel a dull pressure beneath the right rib margin — where the liver sits. Medicine says: your right heart can no longer pump blood fully forward. It backs up — into the legs, into the abdomen, into the liver. Fluid accumulates where it doesn't belong. The body overflows.
But if you are willing to look deeper, another level reveals itself. Because the question is not only why the heart grows weaker. The question is: what is backing up in your life — and why can you not let it drain away?
Right heart failure is not a silent wearing-down. It is an overflow.
