What symptom is NOT typically associated with congestive heart failure?

Chest pain is not typically associated with congestive heart failure as a primary symptom. Congestive heart failure primarily leads to symptoms that involve fluid overload and reduced cardiac output, resulting in manifestations such as shortness of breath, especially during exertion or while lying flat, and fatigue due to diminished blood flow to meet the body's demands.

Frequent urination at night, or nocturia, can occur due to increased fluid retention throughout the day being mobilized during the night when a person is lying down. Therefore, while chest pain can accompany other cardiac conditions, it is not a hallmark symptom of congestive heart failure. Understanding the typical symptoms helps in recognizing and managing the condition effectively.
