First thing is if there are issues coping join a group. So many people have CHF and or hypertension. It’s hard to begin with since there are so many lifestyle changes.  
Hopefully their primary or hospitalist gave them a package of things to do and who to contact.  
Changes like diet and exercise and how much fluid you can have. Also suggest anyone who’s on there feet to get compression stockings, and or TEDs
