My dad is in hospital with chf, his numbers are 4500, was wondering how bad that is. hes got afib and a leaky heart valve also. his number was 800 a yr ago and now its 4500 in just that short of time. i think hes in stage 3 but not sure. hes having difficulty breathing also. dr dont wantt o kep him on o2 to rely on it. he needs it because i see how hes breathing and struggling. he stops breathing when he sleeps also.View Thread
